Proof in The Picture

This is The Picture, the stair-step sibling shot we took every first day of school.


It's the picture we took at holidays and graduations and that summer everyone met in Sedona. And it's the one we'll take at the next family reunion.

Documented proof -- three siblings, growing older, sharing life milestones.

But ... wait: See that shadow on the left, someone squinting through an Instamatic's viewfinder?

That's who we saw in 1965, and it's who we've seen nearly every time we've posed for The Picture.

Mom, camera in hand, making sure we'll remember.
