His work is described by David Reed, the chairman of the society, as often having an \u2018experimental touch\u2019. Recently his images have been gaining attention from international salons and on-line galleries, and have been published in magazines in Israel, the UK and the USA.<\/p>\n<p>His acceptance into the
