School Photos
Run To The Hills
“This picture was taken circa 1985. I grew up the only Chinese kid in a very small town. I went through a heavy metal phase after being introduced to Iron Maiden from the cool older kids on my block. In an attempt to fit in, I pierced my ear and got a mullet.”

“Cat Vest. Throwback to a time when I just wanted to dress like my teachers.”

Deep V
“My 2 year old son’s preschool recently did school photos and I sent him in a cute sweater. I’m not sure if his teachers and the photographer completely failed to look at him, but it seems pretty obvious that the intention of this sweater was to have the zipper partially zipped. The unzipped sweater coupled with his lack of smile and messy hair made for a memorable first school photo.”

Bad To The Bone
“One morning two years ago my son had a bad hair day. As a third grade boy, he did not want to remedy this – no matter what I said. I gave up- choosing to pick my battles. Neither one of us remembered that it was Picture Day.”

“This my son’s school pic after busting his lip. Poor kid rolled off the bed, hit his night stand, and had to get stitches. Then picture day!”

Hat Trick
“The year– 1977. For my 2nd grade class picture, I was determined to wear this hat my Grandmother made for me; after all, it matched the dress my mother picked out for me! This photo is the re-take; when my mom saw the first picture – with the hat – she made me go for a do-over. Needless to say the hat came with that day too. I still stand by my decision.”

Summing It Up
“I really don’t know which is worse, the size of the collar, the print of the shirt, the hair, or the glasses. Okay, it’s the glasses.”
