School Photos
Man Down
“These are my three boys and this was a professional shoot as a gift for my in-laws. The photographer was very swift, but not fast enough for my youngest son. I love this gem but my mother-in-law hated its imperfection.”

Bummer
“My Mom let me pick out my clothes for picture day. I even took a pair of her earrings to tie together my all red outfit. I wasn’t thinking when I picked my shirt. The camera cut off at the exact wrong point.”

Air Junior
“This is my little brother’s fourth grade class photo. Our elementary school decided to change things up a bit for picture day that year… and well, this was the result.”

Pin Head
“This is my senior photo from 1992. The juggling clubs were my idea. Unfortunately my parents supported the idea.”

Wade In The Water
“This is the result of me getting the lead in a play. I had to stand in a blow-up swimming pool on stage in a swimsuit while a group of kids sang ‘She waded in the water’ behind me. The grand finale was me getting my swim suit wet. Definitely awkward back then, but kind of creepy now.”

Sugar Grills
“Classic sugar grill. Story goes that I chewed on my bottle so much that it ruined my teeth. My neighbors used to chase me around the yard with pliers saying they were going to rip out my teeth and sell the silver.”

Propaholic
“My Aunt’s high school drill team photo. Do you think she needs more props?”

Lil Crockett
“My brother would let my mom pick out his hairdos for his entire childhood despite the fact that she used to dress him in sailor suits. This is a result from the 1980s”

Hands On
“My son’s school picture. I don’t know what’s worse, his expression, or the hand creeping in behind him. Needless to say, retakes were done.”
