Kids
Clown Clan
“This family photo was from around 1980 and I am on the lower left. When I was a child my mother started clowning and we became a professional clown family. We went to hospitals, parades, birthdays, school carnivals, and even began a clown society that outlasted our participation in it. We actually have an entire exhibit dedicated to us at the Museum or Whimsy in Astoria, OR.”

We’re Gonna Need A Bigger Wagon
“My husband is in the back, his brother is in the front, and their English mastiff is in the middle. They took the photos in a mall and according to him, ‘Nothing in this photo made sense then and it sure doesn’t make sense now.'”

Golden Girl
“I always felt like my older brother was the golden child. And then one day in 1981 my grandfather called to talk to ME! My brother wasn’t happy.”

Tour de Pants
“Taken in our driveway in Oberursel, Germany in 1988 (we’re from the US but lived there for a few years). Good thing my Dad’s instinct was to take a picture before helping me.”

Kindergarten In Tobolsk
“There is a small town in Russia called Tobolsk and in my eyes this place will always be associated with a unique style of photography. This is a picture of my friend from part of her kindergarten photo set.”
