10. Awkwardfamilyphotos.com
Sometimes I feel like it’s necessary to highlight other websites that feature rectangles. This is a mindfuck, folks. How unbelievably meta. This is a blog about rectangles, and a post about a (rectangular) webpage, formatted in a rectangular fashion, featuring rectangular things.
Awkwardfamilyphotos.com was pointed out to me by my friend, Mr. Will Leubsdorf. He is currently stationed in South Africa. This is a treasure that I wish I had created, but I will share. Check it out. Here are some of my favorites.
This family not only dressed with a theme, but they also honored their heritage by wearing traditional costumes.
I don’t even know what makes this so perfect. It’s drab and no one seems happy. Everyone seems so, so uncomfortable and unhappy.
I like to imagine that they sent this one out with their holiday cards. We love you, Nana and Poppa!
I love the photo-studio background. I’m just surprised that they let the pets into Kmart.
I feel the unbelievable urge to one-up these fuckers. Anyone who sends me their own awkward pictures will get their own blog post. And that’s a promise.
