Hijabs a'plenty

Ayat Shendy, biology major at Kent State University, laughs as she sifts through one of many piles of scarves and hijabs she owns. Shendy, who moved with her family to Tallmadge, Ohio from Cairo in 1991, said she owns dozens - if not hundreds - of hijabs she's collected over the years from trips to Egypt and other Arab countries. Ayat said she also has boxes of extra hijabs throughout her parents' home in Tallmadge where she lives with her parents, sister and brother.

More photos from the photo story here. I've been experimenting with color/greyscale/borders/etc. to see which will work for the story.
