Newsletter No.[5] - Winter 2003/4
 
 
   
 

Welcome to my fifth newsletter (Previous [4] ).

I've had a really busy start to the year, traveling to Paris, the south of France, Barcelona and was back home in Israel. Along the way, I focused on my current project, Intimate Strangers, which it's looking like will be my next book. I had a chance to talk about this new project with Blue and Attitude magazines, and in January they featured some of the first images. In between trips, I've been at home in London adding new work to my website and exploring lots of new ideas and plans! It seems like it's going to be another busy year for me as I have some exciting projects coming up. I hope you enjoy reading my latest newsletter, and I appreciate your ongoing support.

  2nd Edition of VIEWS Rushed to Stores    
  The first edition of "Kobi Israel Views" was a runaway success and sold out in just 6 months. It has not been available on webites like Amazon.com since December. In response to the demand, the publisher decided to rush a second edition of the book which is on its way to stores now.    
 

   

According to Kobi, "That the book has been a bestseller in a gay marketplace, where sometimes books with a serious pictorial narrative don't do as well, is wonderful. I am even more delighted that VIEWS has crossed over from the gay market onto mainstream photography. I am extremely grateful to the thousands of people who bought the first edition of my book and made it such a big success!"
