2002 Nelson Family Reunion

On one of the hottest days of the year, after a long day of hiking, biking, and water sports; the Nelson relatives had their photo taken, just before supper. This time was chosen because in theory, the most relatives would be able to attend the photo shoot. So what happens when you place a bunch of tired and hungry Nelson relatives in the hot sun and request that they smile and look at the camera? Just look at the photos to find out. The photos are in cronological order. Enjoy!

Here I (Torrey) put the camera on self timer and jump in the photo myself. But my big head blocks out Josie Larson. I think we all can agree this is a net loss. This is the problem with taking a photo while not looking through the viewfinder.

Same problem as with photo 9.
