Spirit Of ’76
“Me and my two sisters at an Olan Mills studio in Stone Mountain, Georgia in 1976. My mom was trying to get a surprise photo for a Christmas gift for my dad. I think there was a better option, but this was the one they went with. Obviously, we all chose outfits to match our personal style.”

Baptism By Fire
“This is a picture of my baptism. My mom thought it would be great to have a little extra entertainment so two of her friends dressed up as clowns. They used whatever my mom had in her house. I think that’s my moms red shirt and red pants. If you look closely, it looks like the clown on the right has blood on his checkered scarf…”

The American Hustle
“My mom forced my brother and I to take ‘Modern Dance’ classes in the early 90s in Brooklyn. I am the one with glasses and I was not as happy as I look.”

The B Sides
“My sister found these in reject pile from a childhood photo shoot, but we think these should really have been chosen for the living room wall.”
