Summer 1964
i spent most of my time there working in the fish ponds.
i remember starting the day very early. my first assignment was to make coffee for the crew. i think we were an important profit center; we were rewarded with chocolate bars!
i graduated to working the nets and spearing snapping turtles! i remember sheike; a very warm, friendly person.
this shot is of lea and her boys. all the color shots i took at reshafim were on an old ansco-agfa folding camera which i was never able to take sharp pictures with. the black and whites i took were made with a new slr i bought just before coming to israel and those are much sharper although i was still quite unfamiliar with the new camera and many of my exposures were off.
to the best of my knowledge in 1964 there was only one elderly parent of a kibbutznick at reshafim. here is "abba" delivering the mail.
