So back in the late 90's when I took this I was a photographer for the school paper and often when I took group photos like this I would ask for a "silly shot" hoping the people would cut lose. This was a disappointment.
I wish I could remember who these people are. I knew two or three of them but what they're all doing together I couldn't say. I think this was a dance team or something.
I had two pictures like this because I took this shot with an old film camera back in 1998. I can tell you that that was my Canon AE-1 Program and that this was taken with Kirkland Signature 400 speed film. The only truly interesting thing about this picture is that the second one was given to the fellow who inspired Spud in my Jonny American comic.
It turns out that this is his cousin. Oddly after I gave him the first copy he then saw the second a few days later and pestered me about it for ten minutes. I can't figure why he would want a picture of his cousin so badly. Then he was a druggy who stuck crap up his nose.
This is a head shot I took for my high school news paper back in 1998. Look at that smile. To some of us geekier kids this woman was all the world. She never said much to me, but I'm sure there is still a geek somewhere thinking about her.
