During our discussion about family photos, I was reminded of an occurrence that my friend told me about. She was getting ready to go home for her brother's wedding and was talking to her mom about pictures. Her mom said something about that she wanted a picture with just her children. My friend reminded her that the girl that was marrying her brother would be a part of their family and her mom said, "I know, I just want a picture with just my kids." This is an example of some of the folklore of photos. Who is in the picture and who is not is a major part of the picture and it gives us a glimpse into the thinking of the people in the picture.
