Looking out on to the corner of Derekh Namir and Einstein from here. Photo dated sometime in the mid-90s when I began my life as a “צפונית”. After a year we moved out of Neve Avivim to Herzliya Pituach, so we don’t have much documentation of our life in north Tel Aviv. I like this rare find.

Peshawar, Pakistan - March 7, 1985 My mother with my sister at the bazaar in Peshawar. In this photo, my sister is about a year old. I love how my they’re the focal point in this photo, together in yellow bound by the red straps.

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia - January 10, 1992 Again, poor iPhone quality. With Mama and Sister Yoon. I’m in the middle. Notice that my mother is wearing the abaya. Back then, foreign women could forgo the hijab and the niqab. From what I hear, things have gotten more strict since then. I don’t think you can wear skirts now that bear the ankles like my mother does in the photo.

Seoul, South Korea - March 14, 1993 Me with my first and favorite stuffed animal. If I remember correctly, my father bought me this stuffed animal off a street cart on his way from work to the hospital. (I don’t have a scanner so instead took a picture of it with my iPhone. Hence the poor quality.)
