This is our first, but hopefully not last meeting on the pages of "Usefilm" Ms. Stroebel. I read your bio and looked through your entire portfolio. Despite what you write in your bio I could see that you have the potential to be a wonderful photographer, with a great sense for beauty. From all the excellent photos in your portfolio I decided to comment on this one, because behind its ostensible simplicity, which is one of the secrets of beaury in art, it hides a sky photo photo so beautiful I could hardly tear my eyes off it. You are, of course, invited to read my bio and pay further visits to my portfolio. In the meantime, I thank you for your kind words about my "Rachel reading." So far I have translated four stories and will send them to you. If you wish, I will send you more as I translate them from the Hebrew in which they were originally written. They are part of thirty such stories, bound together in a book called (in Hebrew) "Sweet lemons" after Rachel (my wife's) first positive experience after being repatriated from her exile on Mauritius. The book was adopted by "Yad Vashem" (litterally "A hand and a Name), our National Museum and Center for Commemoration and Study of the Holocaust and it will be used as reading material in 7th to 8th classes at our schools. Best regards, Dr. Rafael (Rafi for future communications) Springmann
