Mom & Dad
Destination Wedding
“My mom got pregnant out of wedlock in 1969. Since it was taboo back then, she was forced to get married. Her father was in the hospital on the day she was to be wed, so the ceremony was held in his small hospital room (wedding cake is in lower right of pic). You can tell she was thrilled about it by the look on her face.”

Backstage With Brunhilda
“From 2005. I had just concluded my mesmerizing performance as Brunhilda. Dad was going through his hair growing phase, which turned him into a hippie Benjamin Franklin. Mom was also going through a phase with her hair. And my sister was so excited to be at my 8th grade play that she couldn’t even keep her eyes open.”

Chains Of Love
“This is a photo of my parents at a neighbor’s house in 1984 (before I was born). The chainsaw was the neighbor’s Christmas present. My dad was holding it and I guess one of the neighbors thought it would be a good idea to take a picture. I think it’s funny because my mom is leaning in and smiling, but my dad looks kind of like a potential serial killer.”

Blaze Of Glory
“This is me, my girlfriend and her son. We were having dinner by the river at her mom’s place. She lives in a hippie anarchist commune. I guess they like making big fires.”
