Re-union of my WHOLE family with Naftali and Naomi Raz,
June 10-11, 2011
See
context in Nourishment June 14-15, 2011

| The
sequence of photos (phI=a photo by Immanuel)
is spread on 7 Song-Pages. I so much enjoyed the constantly changing "electrons and atoms" within this temporary oneness, unity, union, unison [which - naturally - also included fosterchild Yanna] that I photographed the changing "constellations" again and again. Since this "repetition" of "similar" scenes might be boring to look at, I'm going to play a game, and - in "constellation-photos" - mention those who are NOT visible. Those who are seen only from the back or only behind someone's head or body, are "visible" ! All 20 "players" are always mentioned according to t h i s o r d e r : |

Only my two daughters-in-love, |

Finally a picture with Naftali in the center - surrounded
by my "in-laws" to the left, and son/father with his two kids to
the right
A moment later:
father and son are now to the left, Efrat has disappeared, and Ra'ayah is
now standing behind Naftali,
Rotem "replaces" Ayelet and Gid'on has moved to the tree, where
Micha had been standing before...
 |
 |
Now it's agian the turn of Ayelet - to be Mika's playmate
 |
 |
I don't know, whose camera Mika is holding here.
There was, of course, an animal with us: Patrick, the dog of Naftali~Naomi
But these pictures of Patrick were taken by Mika with Grandma's camera.

While Immanuel
On the picture |

Again a mixed constellation of an attentive audience - attentive to whom?
Micha and his son Arnon and his stepsister Dita to the right, Dita's husband Gid'on and Dita's stepbrother Immanuel leaning on trees,
Immanuel's son Tomer sitting on the edge of a bench and Naftali in the middle sitting on his sophisticated gass-stove.
After more than three hours of sharing our lives
with each other, we move on.
After all, Naftali, a tour-guide in the desert of Israel and Jordan, has proposed
a full-fledged program for us.
But the contact between us twenty humans was so much more important than even
the desert,
so cherished by most of us (not by all....)
I myself could hardly concentrate on all the interesting
info which Naftali tried to convey,
and what I heard, I soon forgot , and even now, I won't take the time to follow
our route.
I only remember, that our first station was the dam of the artificial Yeruham
lake.
Joel to the left, Micha and his kids to the right,
and Grandma, handing over her camera to Mika, in the middle [PhI]
I don't know, why Mika was so interested in
this perspective (I didn't crop the picture
in any way) of the overflow of the dam:
the water that has become fowl and the ugly rail? and why this piece of desert
in between two unimpressive shrubs?
But I respect Mika's perspectives! Her great-great-grandfather
was one of the first photographers at the end of the 19th century.
My father (not the son of the latter) sent home hundreds of photos of his
"nice" experiences from the War, before he fell in 1943.
During my recent weekend at Shoham, Mika went
around her flat and documented everything, "so
that grandma will remember it!"
There are now
5 pages with the results of her choices, beginning with the
first page of "Mika's Full-Fill-ments" in 2007
