So at Thanksgiving last year we had to all sit down for a family picture but we had to leave an extra chair in the middle so that a picture of David�s great-grandmother could be superimposed in there, as if she were with us. It was a funny idea even then, when we assumed the end result would involve Photoshop and look somewhat realistic or professional. We got the picture in the mail yesterday and it. Is. Ridonkulous! It�s the funniest picture I�ve ever seen. The grandparents and the great-grandmother are in there, but someone in their retirement community (which almost mandates that they know nothing of Photoshop or even the word �software�) had snipped around the grandparent pictures and just glued them on there, then made a color copy of the whole thing. Everyone is in different proportions, some are out of focus, and two people�s heads were obviously cut off from other pictures (the backgrounds are completely different) and glued onto their bodies. The great-grandmother looks teeny and the grandmother standing next to her looks huge. The lighting on the people in the cut-out pictures is in daylight while everyone else is obviously in the living room. It�s funnier than my friend Chad�s portrait of a sweaty Indian family who he didn�t know at all, he bought it at a garage sale and hung it on his living room wall. This is worse (better).
