Never comfortable with politics or authority, the day I got my red party book and swore to be a good Yugoslav. There is a song by Yugoslav band Idoli that sums up the spirit of the times pretty well.

Snorkeling in the salty, beautiful Adriatic Sea. Every time I go there in recent years I listen to 'Golden' by My Morning Jacket, obsesively, over and over again for some reason. Have a listen.

you were certainly a darling little girl. this is a really special set. it's a shame about the 10, or so, years missing.

What a great bunch of photos to have and remember the past! You were a cute kid! I like the angle and composition of #19 in the swamp. Great memories and very neat old photos!

Very wonderful pictures here. I like the fact that you knew from the begining that you wanted to be a photographer. Not many people know what they want from such an early age. Those missing years though... How were the pictures burnt? I hope you didn't have to exprerience to much of the war. I also wish your brother a safe return from Iraq.

Your photos are priceless! When I was a teen, I was cleaning out the garage and left two steamer trunks full of priceless family photos outside where I forgot them for 2 days. It rained and ruined them. That's how I am responsible for my family's "missing years".

The first question that comes in mind is: And you, how do you see yourself? Priceless photos. I'm amazed at how you looked the same even at two! #6...We are who we are! ;-)

may she be granted beauty and yet not beauty to make a stranger's eye distraught, or hers before a looking-glass, for such, being made beautiful overmuch consider beauty a sufficient end... (Yeats) Your shots of Other people were so interesting.

Haven't there been lots of wars in Yugoslavia? My husband's family emigrated to US from there. His grandparents were born in Hungary, they emigrated from Yugoslavia and spoke several languages. And now it is Serbia Montenegro. They have no pictures either. They were from Antalfalva, Vojvodina. I have missing years too - lots of them. We were too poor to have a camera so only photos got taken when we visited my maternal grandmother which was a rare occurence and even rarer after my parents divorced. Grandma had a camera. Thanks for sharing your photos and story. I enjoyed examining everything in the photos. And you are cute young thing.

Always loved those old B/W-s no matter who was in the picture. Get's me melancholic, close to sadness, but still loved them. And thank you for the Morning Jacket, never heard them, found another band I like!
