School Daze: the Chicago years
a photo bio-essay by Kat Caverly
I am always amazed by the frufru and girly stuff I was dressed up in as a little girl. Look closely, even my little fingernails are red and check out the matching shoes and purse. And that hat!!
Ah yes, there is one of these in every family album! Take a real close look at this picture and tell me what you really see!!
Oh boy do I remember this photograph. I use to pout alot...I still do. I was prone to tantrums (still am) and never liked being told no. So my father taunted me with the camera when I started to pout; you know the bottom lip coming out. He thought it was funny and he chased me down with the camera. I finally gave up and sat in the shadows.
More pictures....
Between the banana curls, the peddle-pushers and those shoes, WOW!
Now look at those bangs!! Hahaha, even these bangs have a story! This is my thrid grade school photo and my mother got me ready for my close-up; banana curls and all. And she wanted my bangs to be perfect, but they weren't straight and she kept on cutting until they were hardly there at all. I was mortified. This and the collar of my favorite velvet dress sticking out.
Why do we bravely smile no matter what in photographs?
I love family photos and I love that my family took lots and lots of photos. It's great to look back on your life and smile, even laugh.
