Courtesy of Google and TIME Magazine (Google recently put all of TIME’s photo archive online) comes this beautiful photo of a two year old kid having a cigarette. I guess back in 1959 it was O.K. for kids to smoke. Some things should never change.

A picture is worth a thousand words.
Photo of the day #21
This is a very cool photograph I was recently sent of my great-grandfather Elías Zack, whom I never met. It must be from the late 20’s or 30’s. Hmmm… interestingly it bears a striking resemblance with a certain photo of mine. It really is pure coincidence. I wonder what else I’ve done that turns out to be totally unoriginal.
One thing I tell you: which version of Photoshop they used for this one, it’s an old one.
Photo of the day #20
Below you can see soccer idol Francisco Javier “El Abuelo” Cruz with my friend Yoni Wapinski. Turns out that sometime in the mid-eighties the players of best Mexican soccer team Rayados de Monterrey came over to my school. Someone snapped this photo and it hung on a wall in Yoni’s room ever since, making all of his friends that came over very envious.
Yes, the photo is a photo of the original photo, hence my reflection.

He deserves that and even more for giving us Jar Jar Binks. Unfortunately it’s not real.

Technically, not a photo. If you don’t think this is funny then you’re not old enough to read this blog. Found on Tumblr.

Photo of the day #14
I took this photo at the Estadio Tecnológico on November 10th, 2007.Hugo Sánchez, and my cousins Eduardo Lew and Rafael Pessah pose with the famous Pentapichichi (actually a guy that looks just like him and always attends Monterrey’s matches). Beware the soccer impostors.

Hot chicks – Purim 1994
Ok, ok, ok. Readers have to admit that it takes very large amounts of self-confidence to post this photo. I will give you a minute to recover from the horror.
Turns out Ziv was going through some old binders full of papers and found this. Or that’s what he claims. I suspect he kept it on his bedside table all this time. I apologize for the low quality image. I’m waiting for Ziv to learn to use a scanner, and that can turn out to be a very long wait.
From left to right: Myself, Leny and Ziv, dressed up as women of the night at the Purim (yes, relax, it’s a costume) party in Monterrey, 1994. I hadn’t seen these photo and let me tell you that 13 years later I’m in shock, but I still have those legs, Leny still has that winning smile and Ziv still has a very hairy back.
At the end, we did not win the costume contest, but we did get many compliments and a few slaps from my grandmothers’ canasta friends while they’d say: “look how cute my granddaughter is”. Good times. Definitely left me scarred for life.
