Dad

Little Darth

“My family was asked to bring their favorite item to a Unitarian church photoshoot. I brought a flip phone, my father a guitar, and my 8-year-old brother his Darth Vader mask. He refused to take the photo without it.”

Rainbow Connection

“Me and my dad about 20 years ago at some holiday eating dessert. I’m obviously being obnoxious and he looks like he’s questioning the decision to have a second kid.”

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.”

Brigitte Bardon’t

“My mother took this picture of me with my father in front of a salacious wax sculpture of Brigitte Bardot. It’s yet another prime example of the laissez-faire style of parenting we endured in the 1970s.”

“This is a picture of of my dad with our two dogs. As you can see, the painting behind him is not of his biological children.”
