1/5/02 Shalom Kobi, I've been browsing your web site for hours today and the more I see your work the more I appreciate it. I love the atmospheres you create and the sudden suggestive allure you can reveal through your pictures. I am officially a fan of yours!! I can perceive a deep sense of smoothness in your portraits and in each frame I capture a "foolish punctum" which drives me crazy. There are few people in the world who are capable of doing what you do......Fabio, Italy
5/3/02 Hi my name is Paul, I am 24 and Iīm a Environmental engeneering student knew your site by Bgay and now I think itīs the best by he way wich mix photography,art ,lifestyle and the beauty of the male body.The photos are great!I loved the story "shalom Alon". Iīve never tought that gay lifestyle in Israel could be so modern and fashion!Itīs great!I hope I will go there soon.I started to know israeli modern lifestyle by the "Dana International" popularity .In your schedule you have a trip to Lisbon.I live there!( but Iīm studing in a small town in the north).Artists says that Lisbon has a special light and charm.Have you ever been there?And the portuguese people are special too (and good-looking!).By the way ,how is Alon?Is he in USA?Itīs all for now .If you can tell me something.Bye!
28/202 Hi Kobi, I just wanted to tell you that I've recently visited your website and found myself spending way too much time looking at all you images! You are very talented. I was just in Cuba about a year and an half and your Cuban picture brought back lots of memories of all the people I met and the stories they tell, for that I thank you. I was just wonderinf if you work in black and white. I took several black and whites while in Cuba, which seem to keep Cuba suspended in time! I am not an artist, I just enjoy seeing how other people look at the world. Thank you for having this outlet out there free of charge. Sincerely, Jose D. Najar Los Angeles CA
1/2/02 Hi, Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your site and especially your work. I am a keen amateur photographer, but haven't been shooting as much footage as I should recently. Your work is very inspirational, I love your colour work especially the highly saturated images. I also like the simple way you display your images through your site, one of these days I may get around to putting more of my work on-line. I am a graphic designer from Dublin and my site is at the URL below. Hope to see more of your work online soon. Best Regards,Brian
31/1/02 Hi Kobi... I have been a fan of your work since I stumbled on your website about 2 years ago. I think you are an amazing photographer and find your work immensely inspiring...I've noticed you've been working on your site recently...it is one of my favorites and visit it quite often for inspiration. Thank you for sharing your work and visions through the internet. Like the self portraits. Thats it...I won't keep you. I am in Vancouver, Canada. Always... Rob
22/5/01 Hello, Kobi!! I discovered you accidentally while it navigated for internet, in the place "www.bgay.com." And it was a wonderful discovery. They really impacted me the images for you achieved. I felt a satisfaction that difficultly can be contained in words. A good book can say that it allows us to do with other well-known made eyes that it contributes a new point of view. And a good picture, allows to feel in a way new and different images that its could be vulgar or snub. Your you give to these images Soul. I didn't want to know anything about your personal history, for not being influenced by her. Your life seems to be intense, your sure interior is it, because its reflected in the passion contained in your pictures. Now, in a next visit to your it paginates I will know something of your biography. My name is Hugo, I am from Argentina. Do you have references of my country, do you know it? I live in Mar del Plata, a city with beaches on the Atlantic one, to 400 km of our capital, Buenos Aires. Mar del Plata is very beautiful. I would like to see it reflected in your eyes, in your pictures. But... why not? ..., a hug and the best thing for you... Hugo
22/5/01 Very nice Website! Photos?Good job.You are excellent photographer.I was really impressed.My compiments,from me only "Bravo" for your work and your talent.

Good luck in your travels,and keep up the good work.Take care about yourself and enjoy.I wish you all the best in your career. Have a nice day. Ciao.
20/5/01 I really like your photos, I'm keeping one for wallpaper on my computer, the picture of Venice a sepia tone (the cafe scene with the waiter in the distance), strikingly it reminds me of Paris. I've really studied all your pictures, you have captured something in all of them, they are remarkably great pieces of photography. When will you be expanding your portfolio of photos on your web site, its almost like visiting an art gallery. Will you be having a art gallery show in Toronto in the future, it would sure be nice to see? Hope all is well with you? Tim
16/5/01 Hello Kobi, Just wanted to say that you're work is very inspiring. I am here in Long Beach, CA and have been a professional photographer for almost 20 years. I have specialized in advertising product photography mostly, but my passion is in photographing people. Of course, men especially. I've been photographing male nudes and erotic stuff and am currently pursuing that aspect of photography as well. I share a studio with a friend of mine here in Long Beach... I was really inspired by viewing your work on the MetroG site, especially the man in the green field with the sprinkler. Your work looks as though you have a distinct style, and it's quiet different from the stereotypical gay photographer. Goodluck in your travels, and keep up the good work. A fellow photographer on the west coast, John
16/5/01 Dear Kobi, by the usual surfing coincidence I came across your site, and I have to tell you how much I liked your photos. It is fascinating to see how you are able to transport certain moods through your photos. Taking pictures myself I know how difficult it is to capture the "spirit of the moment" Some of your photos reminded me of certain situations - moments when I felt lonely in a foreign city, situations where I felt like being part of a surrealistic piece of art, and occations where I felt just happy to be alive. Often enough I tried to capture these moments with my camera - sometimes successfully, but often enough it was impossible for me. I have to admitt that after seeing your work I would be very curious to get to know a bit more about you as a person. Of course I read your biography and I also enjoyed to see some of your self-portraits, but for me it would be really interesting to share a coffee with you one day - and to talk to you in person. The personality you express though your photos is defintly very interesting ... and - I would lie if I didn't admitt - you are also a very attractive guy! :-) OK - maybe it is time to give a short introduction about myself:.... So maybe there is a chance that one of your many trips will lead you to Germany or Poland?! It would be really great to meet one day! (BTW - In Mykonos last year we missed each other just by 2 days ... what a pity! :-)) I am sure you will receive many e-mails from fans of your website - but if there is any chance, it would be really great to get and stay in touch! Take good care about yourself Matthias
12/5/01 i am a 17 year old guy from america... and i just wanted to let you know that your work is beautiful... it isn't sexual... but instead... it's sensual and it captures the true essence of man... you are very talented... take care... bye :)
12/5/01 i just e-mailed you explaining how you captured the essence of the male body... but after looking at more of your work... i wanted to add that through photography... you capture the essence of not only man... but also the essence of the human spirit... by taking pictures... you show people the world... you are awesome... bye :)
12/5/01 hello kobi, i really like your images depicting energy and movement in dance floors. i'm taking photography at texas a&m university and would like some tips on how i can achieve the environment. i mean the lights moving about the space and the set up in your camera, is it double exposure?, manual settings, oh and what kind of filnm do you use for those low light situations. i appreciate your feedback. cheers, al g
11/5/01 Hi Kobi, I just wanted to send a short note saying how intriguing your photos are. As a painter working in San Francisco, I really appreciated your sense of color. Yes it is wonderful to be surrounded by beautiful men, but the realtionships between your subject and the manipulation of color was very striking. You've got a good eye. I plan on visiting your site often, just so see what is new. Take care and enjoy, Paul
7/5/01 Hi , congratulations, I love your work , itīs joyfull , elegant , take simple things and turns its in to a big subject , and the colors ... , well its very intense like passion , and force , I like it , takes what world needs today : entusiasm , hope , strength , beauty . Sincerely : Angel
7/5/01 These images made a profound impression on me with their sensitivity. They pour into you a rich cascade of all that is good in life, all that is positive and pure. Seeing two men in harmony with each other envelops you with the sentiment of how beautiful such a union can be. You gave my soul and mind a feeling of gentility and peace with your camara lens and eye for that which is both 'real' and 'essential'. Patrick Schang Lapabe-Goastat (Spain)
3/5/01 Dear Sir, Your photography is splendid. The photo of the Sunflowers with the majestic sky as a backdrop truly moved me. The photo alone seemed to take me to a magical place of beauty. Not since Van Gogh have sunflowers been paid such a visual tribute. Thank you for sharing your work. I am breathless from their power. Sincerely, Gary Evans
3/5/01 I have not seen everything in your website, but I like very much what I have seen so far. I was really impressed. I will go back to it regularly to feast on your photography and possibly to learn more about composing my frames when i take my own photographs. As I gathered, you also teaches digital photography. I will also be teaching photoshop to college students starting June, 2001. I am presently preparing my syllabus. I also hope to get a few tips from your website or from you. More power to you. DAN
30/4/01 Kobi, I viewed most of your photos in your gallery, especially liked the intimate portraits you shot of "the male body" ... the Parisian boy taking a shower behind the blurred glass is very erotic. Your photos are very real and they capture a true essence that can only be seen through the photo lens... they are erotic, sexy, sensual, and tug at your emotions and lift you . All your photos, really are very good, I can aspire to such photos because I am an artist too. Thanks for sharing them with me, they really do inspire me and they are truly works of creative art and expression. Tim
28/4/01 I have been literally gasping aloud at the beauty of your work. What a gift! I am an image addict... first thing in the morning, last thing at night, I seek an image to feed my soul. It is, as I`m sure you know, so dificult to respond verbally to the experience of anothers art. It usually makes me quieter. But, being able to reach across the world to you to express my gratitude is too much of a miracle to miss. I am a choreographer, but I prefer to think of myself as an image- maker. I began with an interest in your male photos, treasures all, (especially three men in extreme intimacy), so powerful in your sculptural eye, so intimate, and so true despite the aesthetic control. I don`t have the nerve to send you an image in return, though I have been surrounded by beautiful people all my Life. Thank you for your generous offering . Sincerely, David
25/4/01 Since I see the photoes you took. I find the world is colorful! Besides, I feel that your photoes are not only nice but also kindly.They express every kind of culture in the world. Oh!I forget to introduce myself. I live in Taiwan. I am a student in the present. Very nice website!
25/4/01 high Cobi: My name is Jaime Andr?s Camargo. I am 27 years old, I live in Medell?n, Colombia and I am photographer too. I want to tell you that you are a great artist and excellent photographer. I like so much your portafolio. I would like express other sensations about your photos, but my english vocabulary is very limited. I just can do it with this words: I CAN FEEL IN YOUR EYES THE DEEP SENSIBILITY OF YOUR SOUL, THANKS FOR YOUR IMAGES. GOOD LUCK Jaime Andres.
17/1/01 I must say the site is superb. I really hope you finish the new photo book soon. You know what, I think there is always a set of emotions associated with your photographs, no matter it is sorrow, love or playful. I don't know how you do this but you could capture emotions in your pictures and my emotions are brought out when I see your photos. And I never get tired looking at them. Too bad I don't have enough of money to buy them :-( I particular like the partnership series. I don't think anybody have captured the ordinary yet loving and togetherness of a gay couple that well. Also after looking at your photography, I start picking up taking pictures myself. I know I would never be as good as you but I know I love it. Thanks for inspiring my new hobby. I can talk about this forever but I think I am really running out of space. Also I really love the pictures you took with a yellow or green filter. They are awesome. Take care and hope to hear from you. With love, Sonny (US)
16/1/01 Kobi Shalom Your photos and site are a great inspiration. Although I have fantasized for may years it is your site that opened my eyes to another world that really looks great, freash and aesthetic. As a married man and kibbutznik secretly making my way in this life-style, i benifit from your talent. Thank you and shabbat shalom
16/2/01 Kobi, I think your pictures are great. Specially P044721 Where was it taken? I took photo 8, it was a great experience. Well I stoped taking pictures because of time, and now that I see your work it has help me to realize of the beutiful art of photography. Its all for now . Chao, Jaime
10/2/01 Just a "Bonjour!" from Canada Keep your heart for beauty and love! The best photos of life stay alive in our hearts! B-man
13/1/01 Dear Kobi, Just thought I'd write to express my gratitude. I stumbled across your work today and I really identified with it. The images are the type of photos I take myself, though I feel yours are much stronger. Thank you for sharing your beauty with me and the world. Take care and good luck Andy Vice PS If you ever want to take some photos in South Australia you have a place to stay!
11/1/01 Dear Kobi, I've not yet found my life partner...sometimes I wonder if I'm destined only to daydream. With the "Partnership" series it's as if you took snapshots of my daydreams. They capture what I wish my daily life would be. I hope they are snapshots of my future. There are so many other images of yours that I can relate to. One of my favorites is the photo of the young couples kissing on Ponte Vecchio in Florence, Italy. I lived in Florence for 6 years and know very well the sights, sounds and smells that surrounded you while you took that photo. I can also "feel" the images of Rome, Venice and Greece, having been to those places myself several times. Many of your memories are also mine. Thank you for sharing them in a way that I am not able to. Riccardo - Arizona
10/1/01 Shalom Kobi, I have to say it is so essential to move someone with your work, to bring them to the place(s)in your pictures.You 've done this ever so seductivly in your photos.I am taken with emotion as I view your work(s).Please don't think I'm being overdramatic in saying your talent is unmatched, and at least, phenomeonal! Thank you so much for putting passion in your craft.I am a photographer and know the camera rarely can capture with such lush detail as with seen with the human eye.You have managed to challenge & prevail over the senses.Bravo,Bellisimo, Cheers,& encore un fois.Please keep your heart in your work.Without it lies , no emotion ,passion,Or desire. ===== Love and Thanx Eternal, W.Lee Moore PLUR
9/1/01 Just had to write and tell you that your homepage is the BEST i have ever come across your art is so full of feeling that i just had to write and tell you what a great job you have done i have been on for hours now looking through the artwork Thank you very much for allowing the world to see such great art and NOT charging regards Jerry from NSW Australia
8/1/01 Hi! I just wanted to say that your site is really interesting. It's great, really... The photos you took are from the real life. It expresses every single thaught of the human being. I love the pictures of the night life. And of course your photos :-) Congratulations! Hope to hear from you to tell me about your new plans. I love to take pictures. I am not professional! Good luck! By the way where do u live now? See you later. James.
8/1/01 Hi Kobi! I saw your URL and found it very interesting, by the way, you're a very nice guy. I live in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, I'm Russian. 24 yo. Interested in music, gay-stuff and just enjoying my life. I have a friend. He's in St. Petersburg now. If you wanna correspond, send me an e-mail. Hugs, Igor.
7/1/01 Hello, I saw your photos on the net and I just want to say that they are really beautiful. the color, lights shadows and subject matter are all superb. I hope I see more of your work out in the world. thanks, Sugito Brooke, Bern, Switzerland
28/12/00 Hello Kobi! Iīm a guy from Sweden.....that just have been taking a look at your site and I must say that the pics are great. Itīs hard to specifie why I feel so, but they are just living and colourful and "speaking". ....and to see that the photografer was a reall hunk didnīt make the thing wourse. You really look nice and your eyes was just as warm that your pics was. Take care and keep on the good work. /Leif Moller
23/12/00 of lines to tell you I was very touched by your website... Hi there, this is Steve, from Brussels. I was just surfing around this morning and discovered you via gay.com. I traveled your site and was very impressed. You ARE an artist. I was moved (even had tears coming up... I'm not too proud to admit it) by "Follow my heart" and "Partnership". .In the first you captured these guys so good, but I also couild feel the tension, the sensuality that must have been in the air at those moments. "Partnership" is impressive too. Scenes we all have known, sometimes, and maybe would like to experience again. Just great! I'll be visiting your site more often. And then just dream... Hey, keep on "capturing" (I don't know if this is the right word, but you will understand) pure beauty. And, be happy! Personal note: you are VERY attractive yourself! and if, by any chance, you would decide to visit Brussels some day (there are some beautiful places here in Belgium also), just give me a sign, I will be happy to be your guide. Have a nice day, and... a sparkling millenium! Ciao, Steve
22/12/00 Dear Kobi Israel, What a delight to visit your website. It is all top quality: the lay-out of the website, that face of yours (to die for) and of course your excellent photographic talent. Your pictures are incredibly beautiful. I haven't seen all of them yet, I want to save some for later, give it time for me to absorb them. It is too difficult to describe what I think about them, they are too different anyway to describe in a few lines. But they are wonderful, I'm going to look for more of your work in print. Damn, I wish I could make photos like that. I hope that I, and the whole world, will get to know a great deal more about you. Thanks for sharing your work. Theo Alaerts the Netherlands
15/12/00 ...I got your web address from a chat line, there was a guy saying about it, about nice images we could find...he was right!
I like them...really nice...
14/12/00 Dear Kobi: I am astonished about your amazing job. It is inconmesurable the sensibility you have to catch the best moment, the best angle. It is like to see the soul of the things. I was felt in love of you because your job have fullfilled my stetic taste. Besides you are so handsome that I will be dreaming about you. Don't be ofended because of it but you are the human being that I ever dream to share my life. Let me dream. Dreaming it doesnt cost nothing to nobody ok? A warmfull hug for you from Mexico City Jos?
14/12/00 Kobi, I was surfing the internet one day last week and came across your site. I find that since my discovery, I have gone back to it over and over again, enjoying each photograph more each time. I have just started photography as a hobby, but will use your work as an inspiration to just do the best that I can. Someday, I can only hope that my work comes close to yours. Thanks for the inspiration, Joshua :-)
14/12/00 Mehamahot scel?...my compliments! I liked your web site very much, the picture are really pleasant and exciting, after other more pornographic, those like yours are really intriguing they express love and sex, sexuality and tenderness...really even your portrait is nice. But you know I 've always claimed that israeli people are really very nice! (maybe for that reason too I decided to learn hebrew ...) twice I sat for picture once it was for a spot (or they said it was.) and a second , but i was stiff even if they said nice things about me! . Anyway I also like the other kind of picture you take...when I 'll get more time I'll visit you web again, now I wanted to tell you that, again...and lehitraot Dave

All the pictures are wonderful, the one I prefere is flowers - soon I'm a romantic. ... Many many greetings for your work and life. Your italian friend Andrea
10/12/00 Kobi, I just sent you an email, but that was before I had a chance to fully experience your site. I am absolutely awestruck. The fact that you share your family and yourself is so heartwarming. I have already installed one of your photos as my wallpaper and am presently creating a screensaver. However, I am very interesting in receiving your FLASH film by email. I am so impressed with your work. Monday morning I am going right out to purchase your books! You are truly an amazing artist, and I am SO HAPPY to have discovered your work. If you ever have an installation here in the United States please let me know. Your newest fan, Darryl PS Extremely handsome pictures of yourself, I might add! Again, thanks for sharing yourself and your work.
10/12/00 Kobi, Benson's World, as I'm sure you know, is currently featuring your amazing photography. I had the distinct pleasure of visiting your site and I had to take a moment to write. I have several favorite photographers whose work I follow. I am thrilled to add you to that list. Your work is unique, refreshing and captures a mood of sensuality that is refreshing. Please continue to share your work with us, and I will keep tabs on your site. Thank you for your vision. A New Fan in San Francisco, Darryl
4/12/00 Hi,Enjoyed browsing through your site so much. Am in awe of your talent. Exceptional Photography. Just stumbled upon it by accident,so glad I did. Will tell others to check it out,it is some of the best work I have seen in a long,long time. David McCaw
3/12/00 congratulations, your work Itīs very wonderfull, I like so much and you are a very interesting person, my english is not so very good but i think that you donīt speak spanish. good luck
3/12/00 Well, I'm didn't have the right words to say... but i thing that i found ONE that tells all, & is FANTASTIC!!!! :=) Well done Kobi, you are on the Top of the Photograf. You know how to take the moment right in the picture... It is very very difficult, but you makes the picture or photos LIVE!!!! Great & i will want to see more photos & pictures in the future! Best for you Kobi!!! Danny, Israel
3/12/00 Found your GREAT site at the net the other day, and I really enjoyed your style. I hope it is ok if I link you up to my homepage (http://www.zebralounge.f2s.com) I also wonder if could use one of your pictures as a link to your site... Let me know =) Lars Ulriksen
2/12/00 Hi. I'm writing to congratulate you for your great work. Your oriental view about people, world, culture, etc, is fabulous. I like two photos in special (see below). Did you already came to Brazil? I'd like to know your artistic view about my country, about my city (Salvador). Well, I have to finish. To you, hapiness and light. Bye, S?lvio Benevides
2/12/00 Hi Israel, I found you and your pictures fantastic and very interesting! I hope one day to meet you in your incredible country or here in my city! I wonder if you know Naples already! It would be a fantastic subject for your pictures! take care piero
2/12/00 Hi Koby! Perhaps you're right when you says that you are not the best homoerotic photographer but that's not true if we look to your work under another light. Every photographer try to shoot you with an image very sexual; your works are different, very different you're tryng to take the very daily reality of love and i say no more.You're telleing me that you're jealous because i'm living in a romantic area? Maybe it's true but this climate and me are not compatible (cold for me is death) but you're telling truth when you say that this is a very paradise for images. You're asking me how is the gay life here? she doesent exist and for the moment that's the better thing for me (my last history has been very......) but the life goes on......... Sorry but for this week my english is over. If you answer me again and again and again maybe i wrote you like a Nobel Good things P.
1/12/00 I have several photos of yours that I like... the ones of your "crazy" niece are very cute. She's adorable. My real faves are one of Prague (044721), Venice (V112129 + V112910), Children on beach (J021622) and Love on a snap (F014504). I like these the most because you seemed to have captured the emotion in the pictures. They are all very magical. The ones of Prague and Venice are a mix of a fairytale theme and a theatrical theme. The Children on the beach playing is so innocent, you really have managed to capture the childrens innocence and almost vulnerability there. Lastly, the love on a snap photo is just pure love and romance in one photo. It's exactly how I would want to be "snapped" if I was with the person I loved. All of your photos have their own qualities but the ones mentioned above have captured my eyes and my heart. ...
30/11/00 Dear Kobi, I was just browsing through the Internet and then remembered that it was World Aids Day tomorrow, 1st December 2000. So I went to the Gay.com web site and saw your e-cards there which are available to send to people for World Aids Day. I have sent all of my friends your cards as I think that your work is lovely. Your photography is outstanding. You seem to capture a rare, almost magical sense in your photos. Anyway I just wanted to e-mail you to let you know that your work is greatly appreciated and has touched my heart all the way over here in the UK. Keep up the good work. Kind regards, Ryan Taylor (UK)
30/11/00 Great site! Your photographs are high quality and have class. I especially like your work with male art. Thank you for your site. It is the best I have seen (no kidding). Michael http://www.geocities.com/WestHollywood/Heights/2928/index.html
