Photos

On A Pedestal

“While I was away at college my family had to take a portrait for a church directory, so they took a framed photo of me. It was the photographer’s great idea to put me on a pedestal. Also, my Dad and brother had been fighting over something trivial, my Mom was annoyed, and my youngest brother habitually refused to smile for any picture.”

The Inauguration

“My dad was a judge for many years. This was taken at his first inauguration. I was not in the mood for yet another picture and REALLY had to pee. The look on my mom’s face says it all. Through clenched teeth she was probably saying something like, ‘Get your GD hands out of your privates!'”

Easter Casual

“It was Easter Sunday and my mother had picked out our outfits: my brother had his pale yellow suit on looking very lost and I had on my white dress and HUGE bonnet.”

Possum In Residence

“A possum took up residence in our garage and my dad (naturally) felt like we should have a family photo with it while my mom looked like she was questioning all of her life decisions.”

Love & Consequences

“This photo was taken during our engagement photo shoot in January, 1988. The photographer wanted it to look like I was lovingly daydreaming about my fiancé. Looking back on it, it was rather prophetic of what our marriage would be. This June we’ll celebrate 35 years of me trying to look innocent while being bad.”

Hot Tub Multitasking

“This is my dad and brother in the family hot tub. This was not a usual occurrence at our house, but neither of them or my mom, who presumably took the photo, has any memory of this happening.”
