O Christmas Chair

“My mom’s family, 1963. My mom and aunt are the little girls in front row. We’re all very confused as to why the chair is the focal point of the picture. Apparently my mom’s grandmother, who took the photo, always took pictures where the people were not centered or heads were cut off. Otherwise it’s just a typical 1960s Christmas picture!”

Tour de Pants

“Taken in our driveway in Oberursel, Germany in 1988 (we’re from the US but lived there for a few years). Good thing my Dad’s instinct was to take a picture before helping me.”

Kindergarten In Tobolsk

“There is a small town in Russia called Tobolsk and in my eyes this place will always be associated with a unique style of photography. This is a picture of my friend from part of her kindergarten photo set.”

When In Germany

“This is me and my sister (on the left behind the 2 women). Together with my grandmother and dad we attended the wedding of my grandmothers’ niece in Germany (we are from the Netherlands). The photo was taken around 1984/1985. The art on the wall…timeless.”

The Humpty Dance

“This is me and my sister @alysandra in 1993 at Santa’s Land, a Christmas and nursery-rhyme themed park in Putney, VT. We used to go pretty much every summer until we were 8 and 9. Here we are sitting with a giant Humpty Dumpty statue whose creepiness apparently was lost on us 3 and 4 year olds!”
