Lifting With Lasers

“My senior picture. When my friends asked me what the deal was, I said, ‘I liked to lift weights in high school, and my dad was a photographer. That’s all I got, I honestly have no memory of doing it.'”

Wear & Stare

“Glamour shots at Zellers in the mid nineties. My sister kept blinking when they took the photo so they told her to keep her eyes open.”

Here’s Looking At You, Kid

“This photo was one pose in a series of shots my family had taken in about 1981. The photographer told the rest of my family to just stare at me while I tried to look dignified.”

Spirit Of ’76

“Me and my two sisters at an Olan Mills studio in Stone Mountain, Georgia in 1976. My mom was trying to get a surprise photo for a Christmas gift for my dad. I think there was a better option, but this was the one they went with. Obviously, we all chose outfits to match our personal style.”

Baptism By Fire

“This is a picture of my baptism. My mom thought it would be great to have a little extra entertainment so two of her friends dressed up as clowns. They used whatever my mom had in her house. I think that’s my moms red shirt and red pants. If you look closely, it looks like the clown on the right has blood on his checkered scarf…”
