| Entering
into the Something Wonderful:) web site, you are greeted with two
choices - Traveling Uncle Nat and Portal. Either one allows access
to all parts of Nat's site.
Traveling Uncle Nat is the section most viewers probably gravitate towards initially. |

| Artists,
I'm certain, have ‘stories’ playing in their heads as they are creating
their pictures. Nat has taken this one step further and actually
written the little tales of his ‘visits’ to these exotic fantasy worlds
beneath each picture, just as if they had really happened. The images
are modeled in Bryce and you can really see the progression of his work
right on up to the most recent picture, The Pillars of the Gulf of Yurm,
just completed this month.
Bryce Worlds will take you on Nat's creation diary from his very first images of ‘The Gateway’ through ‘Toad’ (created, as he puts it, while delirious with hunger) to ‘Cosmic Champagne’, an interpretation of the year 2000. “I didn't want to use the normal numbering system because I wanted it to represent a more Universal idea.” -- Nathaniel David Harari. A recurring theme throughout these images is the influence of author J.R.R. Tolkien (Lord of the Rings). This site is also one of the portals in Bryce Portals Around The World. The Bryce Portals is not a web ring per se, but a collective through which you literally hop around the world to the web sites of digital artists who have created a series of special images with Bryce. There are 140 photographs in the photo section, covering such varied topics as U.S. politics and a friend's wedding. There is an amazing photo of a camel, so close and detailed that you can see the individual eyelashes. A beautiful shot of a wolf, taken in Mulhouse, France in 1994, will send chills through you, and the ibex, photographed in Israel (1992) looks as though it's going to leap from your screen. Travel to Other Sites, and you'll even find a section devoted to his cow-chasing St. Bernard, Gus. Nat Harari studied photography while attending the Ben Gurion University of the Negev (Beer-Sheva, Israel), The University of California of Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz, California), and George Washington University (Washington, DC). A photojournalist, he has been in the employ of such prestigious publications as The National Geographic Society and United Press International. His photographic collection is made up of images from places as diverse as France, Switzerland, and the cornfields of Ohio. Nat is a co-founder of the hotJump! portal site. Returning to the United States in February 2000 from Israel, where he had been residing since 1998, Nat today continues his freelance work in photography, graphic design, and web site development.
