Recreating The Awkwardness
“Initial photo taken around 1963….no one remembers having the photo taken or taking the photo or why we took the photo. We are 4 sisters and 3 of us are dressed very formal, while our baby sister looks like an urchin. We also have a Brother (we call him Brother) that must have run and hidden when he saw his crazy sisters with Bibles and posing like this! The second photo was re-created on Thanksgiving of this year…2013, 50 years later.”

Cats In Space
Congratulations to the brilliant Nick and Jake Schleicher from “Cat In Space” and our Awkward Family Pet Photos book for this awkward interview.
No Thanks
“This photo was taken at yet another un-thankful thanksgiving dinner. Or some other dinner where all four siblings were forced to squish on one side of the table to make room for their elders. You can tell our joy by the looks on our faces and the empty wine bottles behind us.”

Pit Stop
“Family vacation around 1974. We drove all the way to California with my father taking dozens of rolls of film. By the time we did a swing by the Grand Canyon, we were all tired. We got out of the car and this is the sole photo my father snapped of us. We spent about 3 minutes there. Long enough for my mom to finish that banana.”

Takes The Cake
“My tacky husband just does crazy things, but I never dreamed we would have a photo like this on our wedding day!”

Santa’s Little Helpers
“This is a picture of my family taken in 1981. If you could sum up my family with a picture, this would be it. That’s me crying in my mom’s lap. My brother looks like he’s having a nervous breakdown. My dad isn’t taking anything seriously and my mom looks very tired from having to put up with all of us. And the creepy Santa, well, that’s just a bonus.”
