The guy on the motorcycle was a bit cool, but green leotards? There’s a story there, but I don’t think I want to know what it is. LOL!

Seriously, as creepy as it looks now, I understand the need for a portrait when photographs were rare. It really was possible the only chance you had to save a photo of your loved one.

This was a pretty standard practice in Victorian times. Often the whole family had a portrait done with the deceased as one of the subjects. Purpose of this? Still trying to figure it out. Horrible.
