But for personal reasons

I couldn't cover it,

because I had

a newborn daughter.

I couldn't commit myself to

spending so much time there.

If I weren't married, I would

have done it for sure.

Citizens of Israel.

The day has arrived...

It's an incredible feeling looking

out over these settlements

for the last time.

I used to visit these places

when people used to live here,

and now it's all been razed.

It's unbelievable.

We've been

together 8 years now.

The Galit of today is a

product of Galit and Ziv.

There's a reason I'm with him.

There's love.

That's for sure.

The rest, you know...

we're working on it all the time.

There are lots of things in his

career I'm willing to tolerate.

But if you tell me he'll be home

even less... No. He won't be.

I once heard

a lecture by Alex Webb,

who said, "The hardest thing

is to create in

your own neighborhood."

That makes sense.

You become very dull to what

happens around your home

because you see it every day.

It becomes trivial.

When you come to a place

you've never been before,

everything's new,

all the nerves are exposed.

Everything puts

a crazy drive into you.

In Tokyo, I was on a

'shooting frenzy.'

When I arrived in Japan,

I felt like an

ambassador for Israel.

I didn't spare them

my troubling photographs;

I knew it would shock them.

I think he likes me.

What amazing colors!

The wonders of nature.

So... what's

the plan for today?

My exhibition

opens in three days.

So I have three days to shoot in

this amazing location.

Such perfect light, everything

moves really fast, it's insane.

It's a photographer's paradise.

It's a real trip.

I was surprised that some people

at the Israeli embassy here

don't think my exhibition

serves Israel's image well.

My exhibition

opens in one hour,

and in another twelve we'll be at

the airport on the way back home.

Hey, Shira.

I'll be home tomorrow morning, in

time to take you to kindergarten.

It's hard for me to define

my role in the big picture.

I know my photographs

can't move mountains.

But I worry about how the

conflict will affect our children,

and how it affects

our society today.

How we're more

irritable and impatient.

It affects how we drive,

how we treat each other.

It affects who we are.

It affects everything.

But I think my pictures do

succeed in communicating

and, somehow,

in convening the message.

Or at least...

I hope they do.

Ziv, where are you?
