Feeling Groovy
“My “Far-Out” mama apparently thought all of us wearing tie-dye and making our hair as feathered as possible would make the perfect family photo. Please keep in mind this was taken in 1992, when neither tie-dye nor blue eyeliner were in fashion… Thanks Mom!”

Ready Or Not
“My first day of school, age five. Please notice my older brother, face down on the pavement behind me. Not quite the same excitement about school.”

The Unintentional Shining Reproduction
“We were touring our new house while it was under construction in 1989. I was 4. My parents were taking pictures of various rooms and I was wandering. Then this happened in a hallway.”

Banana Split
“My grandmother owns a store in the town I grew up in and every year she enters a float, representing the store, into the summer parade. Of course, this meant that I had to be on every one, usually in some ridiculous costume. I think that this was by far the most embarrassing year though. I’m the waving cherry on the far right and my cousin, on the far left, took the smarter approach and didn’t show his face for the entire parade.”

A Little Higher
“In my own defense, my son didn’t actually hit the tree branch, though I have no answer for why he isn’t wearing pants.”
