Just beautiful Douglas... Don't need no comment! Love how you included the pony tail of the mother, high class work. Sorry for not rating it but I do not take part in that world anymore... it would have been a 7/7 though.

Douglas very familiare way of carry children close to their mother body warmth. this is very beautifuly framed. Photographing the Ethiopian community that immigrated to my country, I photographed it as well. I upload one of them for you to see;-))

Antonio Thanks, I'm happy you like it. I share your frustrations about the ratings. As in everything else there is a hierarchy on PN as well. I find that in order to get enough exposure I still need to post for ratings. I really value comments like the one from you here.

 

PninaSo many places in the world have physical contact with their infants for much longer than we do in the western world. I know it is so important. With my children we used a baby bjorn (front carrier) and I just hug them to death all the time (my portfolio has pictures of both my children). And, by the way, it is not your country, it is our country. I'm from Kfar Saba myself. I love the picture you added too.

Wow what a nice surprise. you are still living in Kfar Saba?I have photographed a whole series of the Ethiopian community here, This is a very pleasant information , but your name did not reveal Kfar Saba...

Pnina, No, I live in Los Angeles now. I was originally from LA, made Aliya with my family when I was 9 and after the Army started to travel. I just never made it back, except for a few visits here and there. I'll be back again summer of 09 for a vacation. Yes, I was Daglas and not Douglas in Israel. What part of Israel are you from? And where is the Ethiopian community, years ago they were mostly concentrated in Miztpeh Ramon if I remember correctly.

 

 

Thanks for the information Douglad, I live in Givatayim. I have photographed the Ethiopian comunity for 2 years, all over Israel from north to east( Jerusalem, Kiryat Gat, Chatzrot Yosef in upper north Galil, and other places. it is atill a traveling exhibition in schools in Israel.

 

Nice to meet you Douglas, its like meeting the enlrged family of Jews....
