Playing Possum
“That’s my grandfather (Pappy) kneeling, my sister in his lap, and my cousin standing. I believe it was my uncle’s possum – he was known for taking in and rehabbing animals in a spare bathroom. This was taken in 1969 in Grand Junction, Tennessee.”

Sleeper Agent
“Papa decided to take a nap during his 60th anniversary party, but happened to do so right when we were going to take pictures. We couldn’t wait any longer, and we couldn’t leave him out, so we included him the best we could.”

The Patriot
“My grandfather is the star of many awkward family photos. Here, he poses pantsless, with a pair of kettlebells, artistically composed at his feet to highlight his lack of pants and booty short spandex. The flag in the background pretty much says it all: this is AMERICA.”
