I'm Aiton Weinstein.

And I'm Naor Menninger.

And you're listening to Two Nice Jewish Boys.

In today's world, every one of us is a pseudo-photographer.

The ubiquity of advanced photography devices has turned us into compulsive picture snappers.

But despite this inflation of the photographed image, in fact perhaps now more so than ever,

it remains true that there's much more than just pressing a button in the capturing of a moment.

Ziv Koren, one of Israel's most prominent and world-renowned photographers, has been in the

business for almost 30 years. Throughout his life, Kolan has documented countless historical

events around the globe from HIV epidemic outbreaks and the tsunami disaster in Southeast Asia

to the earthquake in Haiti and many more. His photos won numerous awards and were exhibited

in luxurious museums, such as the Met in Tokyo, the art museum in Houston, and the Maxi in Rome.

Cohen has published 15 books, including writing with light, milestones, Shalom, Inshallah.

We're super excited to have Ziv kohen on the show to take an

audio snapshot of his incredible career and talk about what it means to be a photographer

this podcast is made in collaboration with the jewish journal i'm impressed with uh we got it we're impressed if you couldn't tell thank you so

much for joining us thank you so much for having me so let's just one correction I've

just published my 18th book so eight yeah 18 books we can't keep up at that point

is like does it matter not really, it only depends on the quality.

It's not about quantity.

I agree.

Yeah, yeah.
