Photos
Wings
“This is not how I envisioned my senior portrait. I really wanted an understated angelic presence…who wants only serious Senior portraits? You know, leading against a brick wall with my arms crossed, in a casual sweater and jeans and you know…wings unfurled behind me. However the photographer wasn’t prepared and he only had wings with big fluffy straps that were very visible when I put them on. I also didn’t have the photography package that would let us go on location so I had to settle for in-studio. The gold gauze was his solution for covering up the straps. So much for my understated, casual angelic pose. I ended up with a more of an angel glamour shoot. Wouldn’t you believe, this is the photo most of my classmates wanted.”

Then Came The Chicken
“My youngest brother refused to be in the photo for our church telephone book unless he could wear his cowboy suit. The accordion followed. Then came the chicken. I just get to be awkward because I’m in fourth grade and have a turtle t-shirt and a severe part.”

She’s A Keeper
“Found this picture of my sister and I. She was probably about two weeks old in this picture. Right about the time I realized that we were keeping her and I was no longer an only child.”

Who’s Your Grandaddy?
“This is my grandad and I cooking banana bread. Such a sweet and innocent moment from my childhood… although grandad’s shirt doesn’t quite reflect that sentiment.”

Thesis Statement
“After seeing my undergraduate thesis film (“Incest! The Musical”) my family thought it would be funny to wear their t-shirts while posing for a holiday photo. While the irony was not lost on them, it’s still a somewhat disturbing portrait.”
