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.”

Clown Crew

“This pic is from the late 60s, taken on Long Island. My aunt Donna and Uncle John with their grandma (my great) Mabel and a terrifying painting of a clown painted by my mom. My aunt with the cat was all about saving animals at that point but grew up to be an amazing saver of humans – she was a 9/11 first responder and is now working in a Covid unit at a hospital in Virginia.”

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!”

Sugar Rush

“Easter, 1997. My little brother was gorging on candy all day and we were all waiting for him to puke while also trying to get a pic.”

The Lurkers

“This is my sister’s wedding in 1980. The photographer posed her so that she is looking at her bouquet and my parents are looming in the background seemingly very unhappy about the situation.”

Glamour Grams

“My grandmother and great grandmother around 1992 or 93. According to my grandma, ‘We went to one of those photo places in the Palm Desert mall and they duded us up like floozies. We howled when we saw these pictures.'”

The Pillow Pad

“I am the one bent over with a pillow duct taped to his butt. The girl in the background is my sister. Yeah, so that pretty much sums it up!”

This is me in 1997/98 school photo, the mushroom cut with the Canadian tuxedo picture has followed me ever since.
