Does anyone else have a feeling this is photoshopped?
Look out! Pop top!
The kid in the blue shorts looks like he is about to break away from the pack and get his own picture.
For some reason I look at her and hear Jimmy Durante singing “Did you ever get the feeling that you wanted to go…” Cha-cha-cha!
Thanks. Now the Chariots of Fire theme is stuck in my head.
why does it appear that the backdrop is fake? and a lack of sand on their feet? did this just get even more awkward?
It’s because they’re not running, just levitating.
I would write something snarky but then you’d all see how jealous I am. Good for them–they look great and have fun. This is one type of awkward I could use more of in my life.
I didn’t think the female was the mom. I thought it was a father and 3 kids. Maybe I’m wrong, mom just looks good for her age.
I like this picture. It’s actually hard to get 4people in step for a running shot. The family looks great!
Can’t Stop the Music the Sequel
OMG seriously, who smiles when they run???? I look like I am in pain!!! LOL
this looks like a shampoo or toothpaste ad…
So. Much. Chafing.
No one survives in this family without teeth whitener.
Looks more like they’re line dancing to the cha cha!
It does! Actually, the picture seems funnier if you imagine them stepping backwards in the dance routine rather than forwards
Totally looked again and imagined that. Yup, giggled. Good call!
They wouldn’t be smiling if they had sand in their shorts!
Like local-news sets on TV: People have to sit closer than it looks. All that aside, it’s a nice fit-looking family, Mom and Dad especially. The family that runs together stays together. Or something.
I’m not seeing awkward here, I’m seeing funny.
Wow…they’re all running in step, too!
At least Dad had the sense to wear a shirt.
That was my first thought!
Wait. The sun is behind them, but they are all illuminated. Who brought the klieg lights down to the beach?
You are right. Well spotted
You just need something to reflect the light back at them, like a sheet of mylar.
The URL at the bottom is for a photographer specializing in images of “people in motion” for corporate ad campaigns. Did he tell them to jog like the Royal Lipizzaner Stallions parading into the ring? “Mom” is no stallion – she just knows the steps from her Vegas showgirl days.
Mom’s pretty cute, actually
That’s quite a nice picture.
Baywatch anyone?! lol
My first thought too. Well, they have the figures for it!
I can’t get you all in the shot. Do it again, but run closer together. No, no, it’ll look fine.
