I am fascinated by the horizon between knowledge and imagination,
between present and eternity, between substance and spirit. Thus
I am drawn to landscapes and ancient ruins in my ancient and holy land,
that are lit by the soft, ancient light of distant stars glowing in the
past and illuminating the present.
-Neil Folberg
"The deserts of Israel, Egypt and Jordan seem never to have sat
for a lens quite as magical as Neil Folberg's. Since 1979, this American
photographer living in Jerusalem has been focusing on the arid lands of
these Mideast countries, capturing not only their dramatic contours and
colors but the dazzling light shows produced at night by the skies above
them. Spectacular is not too effusive a word!
-Grace Glueck, New York Times
