Man Down
“These are my three boys and this was a professional shoot as a gift for my in-laws. The photographer was very swift, but not fast enough for my youngest son. I love this gem but my mother-in-law hated its imperfection.”

Scream A Little Scream
“Found this in a box of photos from my parent’s attic about 5 years ago. No one remembers the details including my mom. Maybe it was too traumatic. I’m the one screaming.”

The Late Addition
“My dear friend’s mother came up with a very creative solution when, as a little girl, my friend cried upon seeing this photo when she saw she wasn’t in it.”

Sneer For The Camera
“I just love the contrast between my mother’s sweet, Madonna-like appearance and my father’s menacing look. My sister is the wide-eyed innocent in this photograph, while I am the disconsolate girl in the gingham dress.”
