Grandma’s House
posted on April 21st, 2010 by Tamar. filed under thisisaphotoblog.
I have been in New York for the past ten days for a work/family/friends trip. Every time I come up it is a whirlwind. This time I spent some time meeting with people about my portfolio, one day photographing, almost all the nights with friends, visits to the MoMA and Natural History Museum, a wonderful burlesque club called The Box, a couple days with my aunt & uncle in Poughkeepsie, and one day in Long Island visiting my grandmother.
Last time I came up to Long Island I interviewed my grandmother, a Holocaust survivor, speaking about her experience. This time I photographed her house, the place I spent many weekends as a child. Below are some of the photos I took!

Dear Tamar,
Thank you for sharing these photos, they’re excellent! Her house is really unique with those paintings and books. You should upload them to Flickr.
And a question: where was your Grandma during Holocaust?

Thanks Laszlo! I will upload them to Flickr.
My grandmother was in Austria during the Holocaust.

I really like the lighting in the photo of the couch and the meaning behind all of them. I started doing the same thing at my grandmother’s house on Mother’s Day and am inspired to go back and find more to photograph.
