Sisterfreude

“Easter 1985. I am the gleeful four-year-old that just sent her little sister running away in tears. All my mom wanted was a nice picture of my sister and I in our cute dresses.”

“Brian, the baby was suffering through the mumps, Dick had gotten his first dose of the herp, mom gave Siobhan the Dorothy Hamill and Deirdra was pissed at the world… perfect day for a family photo!”

Spotlight

“My grandfather is a photographer and my great aunt is his assistant. This was them setting up for a prom or homecoming. We always take a picture to test the lights and this is what came out. That’s me and my little brother in the front. :)”

The Birthday Balloons

My 5th birthday in 1979. My mom is not known for baking or photography skills, as evidenced in this blurry snapshot of my patchy cake, fire displays and phallic balloon sculptures.”
