David LaChapelle shop window Steimatzky last year
This days you will find a large exhibition in the Tel Aviv Museum of Art about David LaChapelle (born on March the 11th/1963 in Fairfields, Conneticut), the world famous fashion, advertising- and fine art-photographer. His surreal, unique stills are mostly in a humorous style. Elton John was many times his favorite ’object’.

Tel Aviv Cafe
And…another praise for Tel Aviv. This time in an article on Time Travel written by David Kaufman.
He is talking about Tel Aviv as a seaside cultural and commercial HQ and a perfect mix of the contempary and the classic, a place were locals love to chill at cafes and sizzle on the beach.
This is Tel Aviv!

Peres Center for Peace
I did find a very interesting article about the architecture of Tel Aviv in the Metropolis Magazine by James Trainor: ‘Letter from Tel Aviv’.
I agree a 100% with him about his comments in connection with the Peres Center for Peace, at Kedemstreet no.132 in the Ajami neighborhood in Jaffa.The building, designed by the Italian architect Massimillana Fuksas is a enormous green concrete block and doesn’t fit at all in his surroundings. The only open view is towards the sea and towards the street the heavy construction is closed off, like a safe, windowless, doorless and forbidding instead of inviting. It is the wrong building in the wrong place. The costs, NIS 55 million (around $ 15 million ) was 3 times (!) more then the original forecast.
