I visited Eric's site and enjoyed the images but that is exactly the 
feeling I got looking at the pictures.
While the images do convey a mood of Israel, it does only one, probably 
not the most prominent one, kind of niche rather then the whole feeling 
of Israeli life and reality.
Luckily being Israeli and knowing the inside of local life I can 
position properly Eric's images in my perception of Israeli life, 
population and reality, but for a foreigner, claiming the particular 
Israeli set to convey the general Israeli mood may be obviously somewhat 
misleading..
I guess, this is just as Eric saw Israel, the places and locations he 
was able to visit and photograph, which is fine, but it certainly 
doesn't represent the Israel in the whole, perhaps its 20-30%...

Best, Alex
Israel
