Those were wonderful times.. Thank you for sharing Charles Well said, Charles, because I have family pictures like that, and look at them with joy too. That wonderful vacation in Poznan 1984, and many ohter ocasions. That's where these photo's are for. As a boy I hated those pictures, did'nt want to stand on them. Now I understand the importance of family photo's and photo's of dear friends. Pieter

Charles, Bujno, Leslie, Pieter! Thank you a lot! We reallu had a good time. Ela actually likes pictures, sometimes she even poses for it. But I understand your frustration for standing for the picture! Jaga, You have to grow up to understand the social, family history, the remembrance, the fun of it, and the fact that you have a proof and image of a place that was and is important in your life. I love travelling and stil remember and cherish the places I have been to and the people I met there and the adventures that you experianced. Your daughter will be greatful to you when she grows up and sees the pictures you shot or you asked other people to take. You know how important photography is for me (I collect Photo books). But not only Photographic art, photojournalism and Photographic history is important to me, also photographic ego documents of strangers phasinate me. You have people who collect anonumous photograph they buy at auctions and at jumble sales. Old black and white or color images of anonymous families, traces of others people hapiness (weddings, parties at home, family reunions, cosy family pictures, bleeched images of Alp trips or Mediteranian summer holidays). I undersand those people, sometimes they have no family photo's of themselves, in other ocasions they just have a human reason, these images of families touch them, because it says something universal. I don't know if you have such a thing in the USA, but I know friends and others who buy such photographs, who collect them. I started very late with family pictures, because I hated the family picture "Say cheese moment" as a kid and teenager. Also I was to shy. I think part of my liking photography is that I have to stand behind the camera and not in front of it. ;D Pieter

But I understand your frustration for standing for the picture! Jaga, I really hope that you enjoyed yourself, that you could see your brothers and father, your friends in Krakow (and probably elsewhere too), your short stay in Slovakia, and the fact that Elisabeth could see her mothers country again. What did Ela remember from Poland, what made the greatest impression on her? Did she like to see her grandfather and her other relatives? Does she speaks Polish a little bit? Pieter

Remarkable pictures indeed. Especially the one where Ela seems to be praying. Maybe she is praying to go again next year... Poland looks greener to me than 30 years ago. That's good.
