Kentucky Fried Mystery
“Oh, just Telly Savalas , Col. Sanders, Mom, my sister, my brother and me. Found this photo in my parents house. My brother, and sister don’t remember how this happened and my Mother has passed away…..we will never solve this mystery and it will haunt me forever.”

Patterns
“This is me (girl sitting on the floor) and my family in 1995. My baby brother had just been born. The patterns were actually my dads idea!”

Hot Tub Bling
“I’m in front, brother in back, mom on right. In a hot tub in a garage in Vail, CO ~1977 after a day of skiing. Brother with very unfortunate head gear (how come kids don’t have to wear that anymore?). Brother and I were in inner tubes, for some reason. I’m pretty sure my mom DOES have a swimsuit on.”

Rainbow Of Despair
“I was told my son was not cooperating on school picture day so I assumed he just didn’t get his photos taken. Lo and Behold I walk into these gems this morning. Now which one to choose for the holiday card?”

Down In The Dells
“Family trip to Wisconsin Dells, 1989. After several takes, this is the best shot we could get. I’m the one in the middle.”

Let There Be Light
“I told the family no one could smile trying to replicate the old tintype when you had to sit still but instead it turned out Like the Addams family.”

Middle Square
“My aunt and uncle’s wedding pic, with my aunt’s post-divorce alteration. I’m the (obvious) Michael Jackson fan in the red dress.”

Semi Perm
“We live in a rural super small town in central Illinois. My Aunt who had moved to the ‘big city’ (Chicago) went to beauty school. She came home to visit with her home perm set. We were all impressed.. She set it up in our kitchen and permed me, my mom and my 3 siblings. I had the longest hair so she just did my bangs. Mullets weren’t even a thing yet!”
