Born in Israel, 1952.
At the age of 10 I received from my parents a used old Zorki camera. Ever since, there was always a camera in my hand. Years later I found out it was the best replica of a Leica ever made. My mother regretted that gift till she passed away at the age of 87, because this was the reason why I did not become a DOCTOR or a LAWYER. As much as I’m concerned it was the best thing she ever did for me, (and my father too) and they did a lot of good to me.
