Travel, Photography and Environment in Israel and the World

Children of the Far East photo exhibit

"Wandering in the Far East for more than half a year is an experience that cannot leave one untouched. Magnificent temples arouse spiritual emotions, green mountains and rice fields are mind-boggling and mighty rivers rumble everywhere. Still, the most striking feature of the region is its cultural diversity. Each country is characterized by its own religion, traditions, customs, language and life style. And everywhere you go, whether it is to the center of a big city or to a small remote village, you will see children around you. It sometimes may seem as though only they are there, carrying the burden of life on their little shoulders. They walk hours to school in another village, they work to support their families, which in some cases are disadvantaged, but one thing unites them all – a kind of optimism, which is not always expressed with a smile, but rather a determination to make the best of the existing situation, because this is the reality they know.”

"Children of the Far East” online photo exhibit was created in late 1996, and was my first comprehensive visual online presentation.
In 1997, the virtual exhibit was turned into a real exhibition, in Schneider Children’s Medical Center of Israel.
