Uncle Dick’s Condiment Photobomb

“My stepdaughters and I were in Chicago visiting my brother-in-law, a professional photographer. He would always set up a mini-studio and shoot pics of the family while we would visit. This particular year, it coincided with a BBQ. Uncle Dick, my mother-in-law’s brother, had been carrying items to the table without realizing he was walking thru the background of the set. He had no idea we were taking pics.”

Barney And Fiends

“This was a friend’s birthday party featuring beloved Barney and a Dalmatian who clearly moonlit as Donnie Darko.”

Missionary Position

“1990. We were in our second year of missionary work in Karachi, Pakistan and this was the test shot before our family pic for the school directory. We were ready for our close ups!”

Bottle Service

“When your grandparents own a bar, baby bottles take on a whole new twist. Many of our family photos star the eyes-half-mast bar regulars as a backdrop. It was years before I figured out (most) of them weren’t actually my relatives!”

Prism

“This is my mom on the far left, aunt in center, and grandmother on right. I am not quite sure what they were going for here.”

Father Timer

“These are my parents. My dad thought of himself as an amateur photographer, and made a dark room out of an unused closet. This was his creepy foray in editing…”

The Sunbathers

“This is a wedding photo of the extended family – and a couple of unintentional bystanders who didn’t bother getting out of the shot.”

Jockey Hollow

“We took this picture in PA right before Halloween. We believe the camera may have been on panoramic mode.”

Big Bird of Bensonhurst

“My mom took me (in the dorky glasses and Members Only jacket) and my brother (making a creepy face in his blood-stained camo pants) to see a sketchy bootleg Big Bird in Bensonhurst in 1986.”

Back At Ya

“That’s me, the flower girl on the left and this pose was definitely the photographer’s idea. He worked at the hospital where my mom and stepdad worked (bride & groom), so he wasn’t a professional photographer, or really any good.”
