In 2003 my sisters Joan and Betsey joined us in New York at the Whitney Museum for the Gees Bend Quilts exhibit, which was an astounding show! When we left the museum I wanted to get a group shot of us in front of the Whitney. So everyone lined up at the wall and I went over and put my little SONY camera on a mailbox with the timer set. The woman on the left, out of focus apparently saw me delicately balancing the camera, and then suddenly moving back across the sidewalk to join the group. She kept walking as the timer counted down, looking at the camera, and we all started laughing! What a great happenstance photograph this is! Got her, blowing her nose at the perfect moment in the perfect place! I had lost track of this negative but found it recently and scanned it today so you can all see one of our favorite family group photos!

Hahaha! I had forgotten this photo. The woman is looking right at the camera. The photographer just got his face in the frame. The Gees Bend Quilts exhibit was eye opening! So glad I went! Betsey
Wow! I don't remember if I ever saw this photo before. It was such a wonderful day and exhibit. Where has the time gone? Funny that this woman is looking right at the camera! :-) Joan
Hilarious Family Photo Bomb!
