Smiling Not Allowed 2
“Camp Nicaragua. This photo was taken around the same time as the political uprising that was going on in Nicaragua in the late 80s. Mother would tell people we were a bunch of refugees she had taken in.”

The Future Of Walking
“I had my camera to my face and didn’t see this random member of a Segway tour roll into frame when I hit the shutter. Judging from the groom and his groomsmen’s reactions, I don’t think they saw him coming either.”

Bean Machines
“My grandmother worked at the Blytheville (AR) Canning Company when I was a kid (owned by Bush’s). At one point, she presented us with matching shirts for Showboat Beans… I’m guessing “Bean Machine” would be powered by flatulence? My mother had the grand idea of a (rare) family photo of us in said shirts. I’m the little kid on the right who can’t close her mouth (still true). IDK if my brother was sticking his tongue out at the photographer or if it had been at me. My mom’s 70’s-era hair is just awesome, as is my dad’s porn-stache (which was usually accompanied by a full beard that he’d just shaven–scaring the bejeebies out of 3-year-old-me). My grandmother passed away ten years ago, and this was a treasured photo still proudly on display in her house when we emptied it out.”

Dad Has No Idea
We were posing for family photos as a gift to my parents on their 40th Wedding anniversary. Little did dad know his son decided this terrifying grimace was better then the requested happy smiles.

A Bunny Tail
‘We took a trip to ride the Texas State Railroad’s Easter Egg Express down in Rusk, TX. It was the first time my son had seen an Easter bunny up close, and he wasn’t too sure the bunny was legit. The fun continued because the bunny even road the 2 hour train ride with us.”

Freebird
“This is my friend posing with his older sister. It looks like she’s riding on his back, but actually he’s wearing her shoes on his hands. Perched upon her shoulder is my friend’s beloved bird, Sebastian.”
