So today was Picture Day at school. Every year the teachers have to get to the gym before school starts to get their photo taken.
Today I realized two things. 1. I've never taken any of my school "portraits" home. When I get my free 5x7 and 4 wallets I throw the envelope in a drawer. 2. The biggest reason for #1 is that I've never taken anything close to a decent picture on Picture Day. I am not a vain man but, despite my lack of general good looks, I typically look decent in candid photos. But for some reason my school pictures are beyond terrible.
I decided to go through the collection of pictures I have stashed away and give them each a caption. I do not have a scanner nor do I feel like sharing them with the internet...you'll just have to take my word.
