Haim Beer in Bnei Brak
The still point

The spacing is right. Those who are moving are going nowhere, while the one standing still can go everywhere.

Joseph’s Tomb May 2011
Tombstone blues

This is a photograph as intelligent as it is modest, dealing with the abolition of hierarchy and itself seemingly taken without hierarchy.

Symbolic, real and imaginary

Spitzer makes a gesture of awkward patience, his gaze directed over her shoulder and the remnant of an exchange still hanging in the air.

American soldier in Afghanistan 2007 (Tim Hetherington)

Ashdod dunes April 15, 2011 (Ilan Assayag)
In the dunes

These are the faces of the future and the faces of hope − the girl and the boy who have been part of Hebrew culture and Hebrew iconography since Zoltan Kluger’s sublime photographs of young pioneers.

Hot air balloon, Kibbutz Ruhama, March 2011 (Baz Ratner)
Field of dreams

Hot air balloons are a fantasy. An embodiment of the wish to fly. They are innocent, childlike and adventurous.

Gadi Base
Blocks in the desert

This is a photograph of a ghost camp below the Horn of Sartaba and its ruined fortress, north of the Dead Sea.

Efrat Gosh
Star quality

Gosh will be a star. Lalena sees that. He immortalizes her slightly self-indulgent melodrama, but also understands her and believes her.

Purim Hebron
Juggling Trick

The clown's costume glistens colorfully against the backdrop of a disputed building in the Al-Ras neighborhood, known in settler doublespeek as 'Peace House.'

The presence of absence

Every photograph of a room empty of people contains the presence of those who are absent from the room.

Ovadia Yossef
Time on his side

There's an uncanny resemblance between this photo of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef and 'The Last Supper.'

Dir Kadis - Pavel Wolberg
The hole

Thousands of photographs of stone-throwing have been taken in the occupied territories, but precisely this photograph, taken from behind, captures the unquantifiable thing, the essence of "the situation" here in its deepest sense.

Shimon Peres and Hillary Clinton
Clear-cut evidence

Shimon Peres, who is about two decades older than Hillary Clinton, is holding her hand and she is allowing it, helping him.

Russo and Ashkenazi - Eli Hershkowitz
Standing on ceremony

In this photograph of Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi presenting the Southern Command insignia to incoming GOC Major General Tal Russo, there is much pride and laughter and puffed-out chests and toothy grins.

Pop icons

The couple photographed by Yaron Kaminsky in a convenience store at a gas station near Acre on December 30, is immortalizing its place within consumerism. This wedding is their product now.

Future perfect

Pavlov's cats

Pavlov documents a drama of immigration, a sonata of contradiction between few means and a high self-image embodied in the love of music and dance

Earth wide open

The image captures nature's sense of humor, its reaction to its interrelations with people. It's nonjudgmental.

Quality time

Beit Ummar arrets, AP
