 WALKING TEL AVIV

 Photographs by David Bergholz

 July 12 - August 21

 

 In 2008, photographer David Bergholz and his  wife spent two weeks in Tel Aviv.  He had  expected to only shoot pictures for personal  use, but day by day he became increasingly  intrigued with the city and its environs and  wound up with more than 700 images. 

 

 This display presents some of his impressions of  Tel Aviv.  More than 30 evocative color photos  of the architecture, the streets, and the people  of a vibrant metropolis.
