School Photos
Clark Kent
“This is probably the greatest portrait taken during the 1980s. It is of my older brother and he was clearly experimenting which look worked better, glasses or no glasses.”

Laser Trolls
“This is my little sister in 4th grade. My mom took us to get our pictures made, and my mom and sister thought it would be a great idea to add the trolls into the mix. As you can see: awkward GOLD!”

Coolio
It Was A Very Good Year
“I was in first grade. I thought I looked REALLY spiffy in that black jacket, silk vest, and bolo tie. I didn’t realize that I looked like a toothless chimpanzee wearing glasses.”

Wings
“This is not how I envisioned my senior portrait. I really wanted an understated angelic presence…who wants only serious Senior portraits? You know, leading against a brick wall with my arms crossed, in a casual sweater and jeans and you know…wings unfurled behind me. However the photographer wasn’t prepared and he only had wings with big fluffy straps that were very visible when I put them on. I also didn’t have the photography package that would let us go on location so I had to settle for in-studio. The gold gauze was his solution for covering up the straps. So much for my understated, casual angelic pose. I ended up with a more of an angel glamour shoot. Wouldn’t you believe, this is the photo most of my classmates wanted.”

The Band-Aid
“This is my first grade school picture. I was still healing from a very nasty bike wreck where I completely ate it on a huge hill and took a big chunk out of my forehead and broke my middle finger, among other general road rash nasties. I guess it didn’t bother me too badly- either that or I had the fake smile down-pat. I have to give props to my mom who ordered a complete package of photos from this year just like every other… giant band-aid and all.”
