“Like a Dog” – Alex Levac | Rare Israeli Photography Book | Edited by David Tartakover | Keter, 2005 - “Like a Dog” is a powerful and touching photography book by Alex Levac, one of Israel’s most important documentary photographers and recipient of the Israel Prize for Photography. This beautifully curated volume presents 119 black-and-white photographs of dogs, captured within everyday Israeli urban and suburban environments. Through Levac’s sensitive and observant lens, dogs become silent witnesses to human life — reflecting humor, tenderness, loneliness, compassion, and subtle social commentary. The photographs are not merely about animals, but about people, streets, and the emotional fabric of Israeli daily life, seen through quiet, poetic moments that are characteristic of Levac’s unique documentary style. The book was edited by renowned Israeli graphic designer David Tartakover, also an Israel Prize laureate, and features clean, elegant design that places full emphasis on the photographic narrative. 📚 Details:  • Photographer: Alex Levac  • Editor: David Tartakover  • Publisher: Keter Publishing House, Jerusalem  • Year: 2005  • Pages: 119  • Illustrations: Black & white photographs  • Size: approx. 22 × 25 cm  • Hardcover 🟢 Condition: Very good condition.
