School Photos

Got Goth?

“1991 High school Graduation photo. I was goth. Can you tell? All of the kids got 2 sets of photos, one with and one without the cap and gown. I refused to wear the cap for either photo. It didn’t fit anyway.”

The Topper

“When my aunt married a man from the UK, he gifted me a sweatshirt promoting London’s double decker buses. Unfortunately, the bus got cropped for the school photo.”

All About That Bassoon

“This is one of my senior pictures. I was a band enthusiast and proved it by bringing my bassoon to the studio with me as a prop. Why I chose to leave the bocal and reed out of the picture, I have no idea, but I’m not even holding the instrument like it’s supposed to be held to play it. Everything about this is awkward and the most embarrassing documentation of my high school band career.”
