Awkward Pose of the Week: The Banana Boat
May 20th, 2009
This is for the “cheaper by the dozen” kind of unit that has trouble fitting all the kids in the frame. It’s not only a space-saver, but it’s also packed with continuity, an awkward essential. Feeling really daring?… Throw in a lean.

Yeah, I agree, that is definitely the duck pond by the bell tower at BYU. ha ha.
i think its suppose to b tallest to shortest …that tall guy should b behind the shorter guy…then it would of made a big difference…lmao.
wow they are all good looking
While it may be a little awkward, they’re still a really good looking family! All handsome/pretty/cute, I have to admit.
While they can be awkward at times…and I have made a number of these comments to the mom, the family is a riot and a half. Absolutely love them! : )
Not awkward at all. Great looking family!
what an attractive family
marsha forgot to tell greg about the kaki rule
At least they’re all pretty.
But, you see, it still doesn’t make it. hehe
Day-O!
Well awkward or not, the jean rebel in the back of this f-show family pic is hot.
The family’s audition photo for the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes. Unfortunately in every audition group, there’s one member who just won’t put her hand on her knee. Maybe they’ll get in next year, when she goes off to college…
wooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. thats MEGA AKWARDD
This is on BYU campus in Provo. I’ve taken so many engagement photos there(as the photographer, not half an engaged couple), at least three couples, maybe five
Don’t worry em, I submitted this. I thought it was awkward at the time it was taken because mom insisted that I scoot closer to Autumn. Through my clenched-teeth smile: “NO!!” And yeah, mom was mad about me forgetting the khaki theme.
gotta agree with bobblabla, i took one look at this and thought it had utah mormons written all over it.
I’m pretty certain this photo was taken on the patio at Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, IL. I took some photos (not family ones) there 2 Septembers ago.
banana boat! whoooooo hop on the fruit train
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts deedle de de here they are standing in a row, big ones, small ones, some as…well you get it.
Welcome to Utah. Seriously I walk by this everyday. This was taken on BYU campus in Provo Utah.
hahah AGREED.
the lens crafters r the funniest!!!!
Wow, I feel awkward. Of course…I didn’t think it was awkward while we were taking it…but I guess come to think of it, it’s kind of a strange pose. We’re in order of age, yes. No twins, no memo to wear anything specific, either. I mean, Lil sis is sportin her soccer jersey…. The brothers never were big on that smiling thing, either. Anyway, let’s be honest…this isn’t nearly as awkward or anywhere close to as gross as some of the other ones! ha, so weird.
We’re gonna keep on, keep on, keep on , keep on dancing all through the night!!!!!
When college Krazy Glue pranks go bad.
apparently SOMEONE didn’t get the memo about KHAKIS AND BRIGHT COLORS!
banana boat, dada, dada, dada, dadadadda da da dadaaaaa da. BANANA BOAT
banana boat dadadaaaaa da
Is that at Milo Adventist Academy!?!
They’re in order of age. The two in the middle are probably twins. Cute, but awkward.
I’m pretty sure I know where that photo was taken…
me too…. BYU?
i was going to say the same thing.
yup. just south of the belltower. it’s a good place for pix, just did my niece’s baptism pix there.
I thought Up With People broke up…
I agree Shannon. Sunscreen! Especially the last girl on the right…she is the fairest of all the Fairchild children.
Don’t forget the sunscreen!
What’s with the guy on the right wrapping his hand around his knee? Is he trying to pull himself closer?
He just doesn’t fit in in so many ways…
“Rowing bench?”
“Check.”
“Oars?”
“Um…”
“BOAT?”
Why do I feel somewhat disturbed by the facial expressions of the two at the left of the picture?
Is that Bob Guiney on the far right?
Someone’s butt is also hanging off of the bench.
Someone missed the khaki pants memo.
Awkward, yes. But pretty family
Um… cousins? friends? date group idea gone wrong? And I have to know: did they NOT go girl-guy-girl-girl-guy-girl because they didn’t want the awkwardness of obvious symmetry?
They are probably in order from youngest (left) to oldest (right) Just a guess since the little girl in the first is maybe 12/13, and the guy in the back looks in his early 20′s.
And they are the only two that find the awkwardness of the entire moment!
i love you.. ha
I don’t think that neon green shirt girl is actually part of this group. You can tell because she just plopped down without being in the official ‘hand-on-the knee’ pose. That AND her bangs are swept to the wrong side.
ARMSHELF ON SIBLING’S SHOULDERS!
I don’t see much “awkwardness” here. Actually, it’s a pretty good photo although the background makes the entire thing look “busy”.
We need more pics like the one where the woman’s holding a giant squash!
You don’t see much awkwardness here? Seriously?
The guy in the back of the love train didn’t get the memo…why is he the only one in jeans?
That’s like US$200 in khakis. Well played, Gap Inc.
OMG that is so sick!!!!!!
okay its just a picture. You dont have to be like that with a picture, i mean come on. Its not meant to be “so sick”!
cber到此一游~~
真好
haha,funny….
