> Tzfat (also spelled Sefod or Zefod) is a high hilltop town in northern
> Israel.  The old town looks much like it did in the1500s, when Rabbi
> Joseph Caro wrote the "Shulchan Aruch," one of the major works of
> traditional Jewish law there.

> Both of the gentlemen above are photographers knew exactly what a Leica
> was. The younger man, whose name is Alon, asked me if he could try out
> my M8, and took a picture of me.  I saw a painting of his that showed a
> photographer's love of light. The older man, Yaakov, is French-born, a
> former hippie and light show impresario, and uses some pretty up-to-date
> digital techniques in his art.  He was telling me about the photo to the
> right of his head--he went into the desert with a camera and tripod,
> took a picture of himself with a self timer, and then processed it
> digitally to get the B&W effect he wanted.
> 
> Can't decide between B&W and color in this one, I like them both for
> different reasons. What do you think?
