Baby Dolls
“My cousins and brother were placed there by my uncle. Clearly my brother was not happy about being part of Grandma’s collection.”

Mouth-To-Head
“My mom and the other lady in the picture have been best friends pretty much since birth, so when they had babies at the same time they thought it would be cool if we ended up together. The other guy is my age and even though we live 700 miles away from each other and have had no contact, we have mutual friends. Unfortunately, I already showed this picture to some of our mutual friends and I’m pretty sure he knows who I am now. At some point, we’re going to run into each other. I don’t even know if this will be an icebreaker, or just the elephant in the room.”

Always On My Mind
“I came across this pictures of my mom’s family today. My Grandmother still thinks this picture is beautiful and doesn’t understand why people giggle about the awkwardness.”

Recreating The Awkwardness
“As a Christmas gift for the in-laws my husband and I decided to re create his 1976 former communist Poland baptism photo. My husbands grandmother was a seamstress and sewed the polyester suit that little B is wearing and of course adorned it for his special day. Unfortunately he was still not happy- after many tries this was the happiest shot they could get out of him!”

Free Skate
“I thought it would be great to ring in the new year by volunteering & supporting the Albany Allstars Roller Derby (un-finished) calendar project back in 2011. I really did use this as an awkward (yet endearing, I hope!?) Seasons Greetings family card!”

Thank You For Not Smoking
“My dad had a last minute idea to add a prop to our family photo. He saw the photographer had cigarettes and decided that everyone in the photo should have one. I am the red head bottom right with my eyes rolled up.”
