Minor Threat
“This is a family portrait from 1987. I just love the contrast of the punk rock kids, coupled with the wholesomeness of Mom and daughter. It brings a smile to all of us.”

Rear Window Regret
“It’s our wedding day and the ‘rear car window show’ shot was a popular pose back in the late 80s. Judging by my expression either my new hubby farted or I’ve just realized what I’ve done.”

The Silhouette
“My mom and dad in the late 80s. Apparently it was considered cutting edge to put your picture inside a silhouette of your son.”

Bangin’
“The day before school pictures 1984 my mom was complaining that I wore black too often (all the time). So after making myself beautiful on school picture day I grabbed an old white sweater vest out of her closet and wore it to school. She still was not pleased with my school photos. Wonder why?”
