Tuesday Treasures: Awwwwkwaaaard...

Today's installment of Tuesday Treasures comes from my friend Jennifer.

I was going to save this for later, but after looking around the link she sent me, I realized that I absolutely must share this now:

AWKWARD FAMILY PHOTOS

Childhood friends Mike and Doug found an awkward vacation photo in Mike's parents' house. They decided to create a website to share this and other awkward family moments captured on film, and for others to submit and share moments of their family history.

The result is truly a treasure trove of amusement, some awkward "What am I looking at" moments, and even a few outright "GAH!!!" moments.

In some of the photos you'll see on this site, the awkwardness is very up-front. You'll know immediately "What's wrong with this picture?"

Yes, 70's and 80's fashion statements, I'm talking about you.

Others, you need to examine; the awkwardness may be going on in the background.

In the spirit of a "Tuesday Treasures Two-For-One", you can also enjoy the affiliated AWKWARD FAMILY PET PHOTOS site, created after Mike and Doug noticed a great number of family moments involve pets.

As Jennifer said in her e-mail to me "This site made me laugh...awkward laugh, but laugh."

Check out AWKWARD FAMILY PHOTOS and have a nervous laugh or two.

You might even feel a bit better about your own family after you see what else is out there.

Thanks for reading my ranting,

  7. Yeah, I saw on the site that they had a book.
