Making It Rain

“My husband and I were on vacation in Florida with our boys. I thought a photo of them at the picnic table was a cute idea. Important detail: my youngest son was being potty trained at the time. I had him in an over-large t-shirt with his training undies off after a day on the beach. When my youngest decided to pull up his t-shirt, I went ahead and took the shot anyway with his dad happily unaware of what was happening behind him.”

Mystery Man

“The man in the back in the Copacabana outfit is my grandpa, who I never met. He looks like a fun-loving type of guy! Nobody in my family knows where this photo was taken, or why.”

Twin Trouble

“Our family was at Arctic Roadrunner (a burger place in Anchorage, Alaska) when I captured this shot of my husband Jim and our 2-year-old twins, Hank and Annie. Daddy and Annie are having a blast while Hank stands in the foreground clearly not a part of the inner circle. Also his Daddy cut his bangs way too short a week ago so things just aren’t going his way lately.”

Death Stare

“Alright. I’m the one on the left with the sweet bangs, and probable curling iron burns on my forehead. Let’s analyze this:

1. The denim. Why, Mom, why?
2. Stain on my stepdad’s knee.
3. Several excellent examples of leaning, particularly my casual elbow on my stepdad’s knee.
4. And the absolute best, my sister’s face. We are all happy to announce she isn’t a sociopath.”

Check Out That Brickwork

“A photo of my beautiful wife and her father walking down the aisle at the House of the Seven Gables on our wedding day. She gazes out at the ocean, her father tries to contain his elation, and all eyes are fixed on this beautiful moment. Except for my uncles’ and cousins’, who are evidently more fascinated by the brickwork than the bride.”

Ramble On

“I’m on the left, next to my mom, my step-dad, and my sister. We’re at my mother’s family reunion. My step-dad was mad that he was being forced to go, so he got rip-roaring drunk before we went. My mom was trying desperately to maintain the happy facade (notice she has an on-the-verge-of-tears look), I was ready to kill them all just for living, and my sister was happily unaware of it all. As long as she was rockin’ the mullet, life was good.”

Stone Faces

“This is a picture of my mom and her siblings taken in 1972. I don’t have a lot to say here. It’s a little creepy.”
