School Photos
Picture Day
“For some reason I wasn’t okay with having my picture taken. I struggled to get away from the photographer, even turning my butt to the camera for the class photo. This is me having lost the battle.”

The Wiz
“I cannot recall what grade I was in, only that I never smiled again. My mother made me wear that horrible western-styled shirt, and I was furious. I think this was the first time I became consciously aware of fashion and self-respect. My Tasmanian friends, whose young children had never seen such a thing, asked, upon seeing this photo, ‘Is he a wizard?'”

“I was so excited for a matching dress and hair accessories and thought that I looked like Princess Leia.”

The Eye
“I think this was taken of me either my kindergarten or first grade. Why am I so orange and what’s up with the floating eye?”

The No Smile
“For several years I purposely refused to smile on photo day and the photographers would find artistic ways to present my photos to my mother.”

Smile This Way
“They told me to dress up for my school picture… so I did. I felt invincible in that sweatshirt.”
