Family Portrait
The Freebie
“My buddy Josh and his older sister and brother when they were little. Apparently when the photographer saw all the prints from the photo shoot, he gave this one to his mom for free because it’s just so hilarious. He would hide it from me when I went to his house because I would cry from laughing at it so much.”

Code Pink
“In 1990, I was in the Marine Corps and our family only had a few days together. We wanted to “remember” this date. Mission accomplished! As we walked across the parking lot towards the portrait studio, people laughed, right out loud! Now THERE was a clue!”

The Double Bird
“I ruined every shot in this photoshoot. Some had the finger barely popping out, one photo featured just one middle finger and in others I was proudly flipping off in full force. The photographer didn’t say a word to my parents.”

Basket Case
“My parents had brought me to a portrait studio, and apparently I didn’t want my picture taken. It was taken anyway, just with a surreal approach.”
