The Waiting Game
“This is a photo of my brother and I playing “Trouble.” Some buy travel-sized board games for traveling, others have them for extended lonesome periods of time in the washroom.”

Protest Pose
“This was the last time I tried to get my kids to pose for a family picture. My youngest daughter was having none of it and would not cooperate with the photographer. This was the closest we could get to a happy family picture.”

Purple Haze
“One day, back in ’81 or so, MawMaw thought it would be a good idea for us to all enjoy a few glasses of her fermented ‘friendship punch’ before heading down to the photo studio at K-Mart.”

I Got My Eye On Me
“We took my son, (then two, now 38), for his birthday photos. I have no idea about what the photographer wished to accomplish, but if it was to cause nightmares for the foreseeable future, it certainly worked.”

The Anniversary Party
“For my parents 20th anniversary, my mom decided to dress up in her wedding dress and get our family Christmas photos done in front of the place they were married. I’m the girl bending over trying to hold down my brother who wanted to get away for obvious reasons. Needless to say, it was not everything my mom had hoped for.”
