the sisters

this is probably the funniest picture I have ever taken of my mom (left) and her sister, my aunt Sharlot. Sharlot asked me to take a picture of them together, and so I put them in a corner and got them telling funny stories while I snapped away… I think Sharlot was probably expecting me to say “Smile!” and then push the button… not to just egg them on and shoot frame after frame. Featured in this shot is my mom’s faux uppity Well, you can kiss my grits! sort of look that is as hard to catch on camera as the Loch Ness Monster. And twice as scary.
