Groin Eye Lens

“Circa 1982. I’m the baby being held by my sister. We had lined up the cans to crush them for recycling. My Dad got down low on a camp chair to take the pic, and accidentally included his crotch and beer belly (look closely).”

Taking The Plunge

“My father took this picture of me, the toddler in the pink coat, at the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris in 1978. All the adults look happy, but oblivious to the girl falling in the water in the background.”

Welcome To The Dollhouse

“This is a photo of me when I was about 2 years old around Christmas time. I’m at a house that was decorated every year with hundreds of dolls in various Christmas-themed scenes, but what a pyramid of dolls has to do with Christmas, I don’t know. I don’t remember this at all, so I must have blocked out the creepiness.”

“C” Is For “Creepy”

“Found this gem while digitizing the family photos. It was taken sometime in the late 70s in Des Moines, Iowa. I’m the little guy with Cookie Monster and my brother, who’s sole comment upon seeing this photo was, ‘miss that hat.'”
