The Bell Tolls
“I’m originally from Nazareth Illit, Israel, a very diverse city, where Jews, Christians and Muslims live together. Since I was born on Christmas Eve my parents used to invite our Christian neighbor who used to dress up as Santa and he would always come bearing gifts. In the photo my mom is holding the present he gave me and me, terrified in her arms. Perhaps it was the fake forehead that broke me.”

Look Who’s Talking
“When I was in first grade I did a ventriloquist act in the talent show at school. When it came time for school photos, we were given the option of including a prop in our portraits, so I thought it would be a great idea to be photographed with my dummy. I was secretly terrified of that thing and couldn’t sleep if it was in my room.”

“It was the Sears photographer’s idea to have them on top of me. It was my idea to put them in matching shirts.”

The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boys
“This is a photo from the final tap dance duet my brother and I did together. It is my deepest hope that he will still speak to me after this is posted. Jazz hands have never looked so profound.”
