Fifty years of building a state of wars and songs and everything in between. In 50 Faces of Israel, award-winning photographer David Katz delves into the harsh contrasts and bright colors of Israel and emerges with a superb collection of subtly moving pictures. 
Divided into chapters such as City Life, The Wall, Life in Uniform and Israel at Play, this collection of photographs about people like the Ethiopian soldier ready to fight for Israel, the Hasidic family rafting on the Jordan River or the Jewish cowboy in the Golan Heights. 
With over 140 pages of color photos, and a unique introduction by Israels President, Ezer Weizman, 50 Faces of Israel makes a wonderful gift, while it reminds us why 50 years of statehood is worth celebrating.

You'll never need a more versatile camera than the Nikon N60 (called the F60 overseas). It's even more functional when you take full advantage of all its features and functions.

Practice the two automatic program modes and the new easy way to change the shutter speed-aperture combination.
