This is what we like to call a “choose your own adventure” family photo.

best photo and caption in a long time. those who claim this is photoshopped need to get a life. is that your answer to everything – photoshop? it doesn’t even make sense for this pic, nothing was made to look perfect, funny or incredible. it just turned out funny… naturally.
vangie’s reply was photoshopped
adobe….
I think your personality was photoshopped
Photoshop IS the answer to everything. Photoshop changed my life, dunno about you…
Also, fixed my photos.
Nothing like a collection of unrelated individuals looking in different directions to wake you up. I wonder how long they had to stay like that while the assistant stood on a ladder saying hey! hey! to the baby.
wow.
It’s like a promo poster for a new season of Lost.
Or a Royal Tennenbaum’s sequel.
Royal Tennenbaum for sure! Good call!
I smell something, who did it?
what in the world is even going on in this picture??? i am stumped.
okay, this is what i get for looking at the pic and reading from the bottom up. i get it now. well, as much as there is to get…
“Choose your own adventure”. LOL
NATHAN!!!!!
HIL-AR-I-OUS. I lovie!
“I swear we did not do this on purpose!” haha
why is this called the “onion?”
layers.
of awkward.
like an onion.
probably because all the layers you would have to peel back to reach anything close to a nuclear family unit.
many layers
Can’t…stop…laughing…
I spent some time studying this image and it is really quite beautiful and an accomplished photo. each individual is perfectly lit.
I am an image editor and I seriously doubt this was assembled from different photos
this is the funniest one in a long time. i am struck with awe.
“Where is freakin Waldo?”
My official wallpaper now.
Yes!
I just love that Grandpa is hip enough to sit on a chair backwards.
Well it is a recession… I guess sharing one giant photo would be cheaper..
So funny!!
Strike a pose?
I think what happened is the photog finally just gave up trying to get the toddlers to look at the camera, said “screw it” and told everyone to gander hither-thither-and-yon. Friggin’ hysterical!
I’ve been saying it for a while, but never before has my sentiment been more true – the photo captions ROCK!! This is by FAR the absolute best picture caption yet!!!
Love the photo! Love the caption! Love this family! I would TOTALLY buy this portrait, if this were my own family! It’s wonderful!
“Okay guys, we want a nice family portrait, but we don’t want to look posey…ready? Go!”
Ahahahahahaha! Best caption EVAR
This picture is just so confusing to look at for my brain!
Beautiful family, I bet they either foster or adopt kids. I think it is a lot better pic than some that you see where everyone is stiff and miserable looking. This was probably a goof shot, everyone moved just as the photographer was snaping the picture; I’m glad that the family decided to keep it. If it was my family, I would have this one hanging front and center.
It’s like they were told to all look different directions and 2 of them picked the same spot!
it looks like no one in the picture had a clue their picture was being taken.
Couple 3 chjldren with mate= 3 grandkids
!!! Why does this image having me laughing harder than anything else on this site. This is so strangely awkwardly perfect. I can’t see; I’m weeping with laughter.
what an awesome photo caption
Thank you Nathan for submitting this photo and thank you to who ever came up with the caption. I don’t know why, but it made me laugh until tears were rolling down my face. Great family, great photo.
i dont get it whats so great bout the caption
None of these people are related.
2/11 looking at the camera ain’t so bad.
I love how Mom is enjoying the experience instead of stressing out, as she waits for each couple gets its’ kid(s) settled down before the “official” shot. The caption is hilarious, too.
Internal dialogue: ‘Keep it together, Ron… Don’t. Lose. Your. Cool.’
This is hilarious and such a fun picture. Im going with Adoption here, cuz nothing else works in my head…
I thought it was the Howard Dean family photo.
Love the dad in the background, comforting the baby who didn’t make the cut to sit with Grandpa. “It’s okay, Mariah. In this family, we all get our fifteen minutes, then we have to move on.”
As a former professional photographer, I have declared that at least ONE person will claim that EVERY PHOTO EVER TAKEN HAS BEEN PHOTOSHOPPED. With beautiful lighting and composition, of course. I also am from the moon and have twelve kitten-children and am the president of Zimbabwe.
i think this is the photographers way of being “unique”
