I understand that the older photos from the early 20th century were taken at a time when the subject had to sit still and thus often had rather set expressions. What strikes me in all these photos is how unhappy they all look (with the possible exception of Qaddafi, who has a toothy smile, but his photos are as a young man rather than as a child). Makes you really wonder about the cultures they came from and their family lives.

About Me

Name: Carl in Jerusalem

Location: Jerusalem, Israel

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
