Uncomfortable Smiles
Have you ever wondered why the yearbook is filled with seniors in unnatural positions… leaning against trees, overdressed while sitting on park benches, faking a laugh? Welcome to the wonders of Senior Pictures. Another necessity of saying goodbye to high school, our parents force us into clean clothes and hire someone to stick a camera in our faces. After completing orders of “lower your chin” “smile smaller” “place your arm over there” we have the pleasure of selecting from an array of awkward poses, trying to find the one that looks best. Looking back in 30 years this just might be all you remember your classmates by. So show some teeth and say cheese… it’s picture time.
