That’s me and my little sister, Ashley, circa 1990.
My Uncle Ray used to be a professional photographer, but this was just a quick snap that he got of us on the back porch of his old Chicago-style bungalow. He has since moved (many years ago now), but the photo still hangs in his dining room. Poster-sized.
It’s one of my favorite photos ever.
p.s. My Uncle Ray is the reason we chose Ray for August’s middle name.

Great photo. I love old family photos! There’s a great one of my mum holding me as a baby, people think it is a photo of me holding my youngest brother. It goes to show our family resemblance.

do you know a good place to get photos – not negatives, but actual photos – blown up to poster size? I love this idea!!

If you can scan them in hi-res, Adorama.com has a great AdoramaPix service and it’s relatively inexpensive for large photo prints! They’ll ship anywhere or you can pick up if you’re in NYC at their 18th Street store in Manhattan. They also occasionally run specials so I got a 20″x30″ print last week for $13!! Craziness.

Those are some very GaGa-esque sunglasses! =)

I was thinking more Kanye West.

LOVE IT! This is fantastic. I am currently on a mission to mix in hilarious family photos like this with my other playful artwork, and this is big inspiration! Who says family photos have to be snapshots and boooorrring?! :D

I officially feel ancient. 1990 is the year I graduated high school. O_o

Class of ’98, yo.

Gah. That would be four years after I graduated college. I think. I need to take my geritol and ginko biloba before I can be sure.

what an awesome picture! My uncle Ray is also a professional photographer – he’s taken some really fun polaroids of us cousins way back in the day. Love it!

That is a great photo! I just love looking back on these – thanks for sharing that :)

I’m glad you clarified that because up until this point I thought you chose Ray after Ray Eames, hehe.

That’s a bonus.
