Aunts and Uncles 1973

This photograph, Aunts and Uncles, by Michael Jang, is a hilarious snapshot of family fun. I'm imagining Jang with his camera, trying to capture the perfect moment, but instead, he gets this explosion of laughter and goofy poses. I love how everyone is committed to the bit, some in classic shades, others in wild, bug-eyed glasses. There’s an energy in this image that makes me think about the work of other photographers who captured candid moments of everyday life. It's not about perfection; it's about capturing the messy, joyful reality of human connection. The black and white tones emphasize the timelessness of the scene, like a memory that's been passed down through generations. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best art comes from the unexpected moments, the ones that make you laugh out loud. It makes me want to call my family and plan a silly photoshoot.
