School Photos
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.”

Tyke Bike
“I was going through old pictures and found this gem that my parents had taken of me as a child. The bangs and the bike all together make a look.”

Fly Girl
“I always had the worst luck with school pictures. The one year I managed to keep my eyes open a fly photo bombed me. Figures.”

The Queen Of Dew
“When I was a senior in high school, I was obsessed with Mountain Dew. I would have like six a day, any size. There was never a time one was not in my hand. So for my senior photos, I thought it was going to be a great idea to make a throne of Mountain Dew to sit on. I went out the morning of my photos and bought six 24-packs to build my throne. It took me a few weeks to get through all of it. It’s hilarious now because I don’t drink Mountain Dew anymore.”

The Bee’s Knees
“1984, Green Bay, WI. I was in 4th grade and my Mom had decided to give me a home perm. That sweater with the embroidered bee & turtleneck was my signature outfit. And I was certain I looked awesome that day.”
