This is a photo of my Dad's Mom and Dad. I love this photo. It's perfectly dated and timeless at once, a photo of two loving happy people, awkward and confident. This to me is pure portraiture from a period when subjects and photographers were more reverent of the process. It's crazy to me that this party pic says so much to me about these two people. One of the saddest things in my life (so far) is that I never met them. When my dad was in his 20's he started making some good money and bought his parents plane tickets to some sunny destination. On the way to the airport they were hit by a drunk driver and both died.
Rest In Peace Grandma and Grandpa.
