School Photos
Like Mother Like Son
“This is my first school picture, (in the AFP 2017 calendar, March 14th), compared to my son’s first school picture. To say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree is an understatement.”

My Emo Years
“My school photos pinpoint the exact year I became emo.
And this is me with the whole class. I thought I was cool not smiling.”

Putting Myself Into My Art
“When I was six I drew a self-portrait and added something extra for realism and pizazz. The next day was school picture day.”

The Stoic Preschooler
“When the teacher laughs while handing you the picture packet and says they tried everything they could, you know you’ve got a winner. When asked ‘Lilly, why didn’t you smile?’ Her response was simple: ‘I don’t like school and I don’t like to smile.’ And that will tell you everything you need to know about this 4-year-old.”

Bat In The Cave
“From the photographer to the teachers in the school, how did nobody notice the huge bat in the cave?”

I’m With The Band
“Circa 1984. Dad felt my school band photo failed to capture the spirit of my role in the North Stafford High School marching band, so he decided to stage a photo of me in my uniform…in the woods…in a chair that just happened to be there…without my sax. I think I look like the young regent of Sherwood Forest, perhaps its constable, given the bobby hat. In the truest sense of the term, this is an awkward family photo.”

The Drowsy Kindergartener
“These are my son’s original kindergarten photo and the retake. Somehow the retake was worse.”
