Found an interesting connection in my family album to my yearbook photos. I was so fascinated by how much these photos resembled each other, thought to share here.
My Jr High photo on the left matches so closely to my paternal grandmother's photo, taken at about the same age.
My H.S. yearbook photo with my maternal great aunt's portrait on the right, also taken about the same age. I never saw the connection with her before, and only now realize how much I resemble(d) her - something that completely surprised me.
Very similar expressions, the resemblance is almost uncanny with both. It's interesting how different phases of "me" can all connect back to family members throughout - even more intriguing when both families come from different parts of the world. My grandmother's photo was taken in Israel, a little after migrating from Tehran, Iran. My great aunt's portrait was probably taken somewhere in Dushanbe, Tajikistan before the family also migrated to Israel. My school photos were both taken in Queens, New York.
