Fun On Friday #161: Awkward Family Photos

Having just acquired a new camera (see some photos here) I hope I don't take too many like this:

Family Photo, Anchorage, AK,
a photo by djwudi on Flickr.

Find many (many, many!) more on the Awkward Family Photographs site. A quick browse through gives some excellent examples of what not to do! I think my favourite out of the recent entries is Take Me Higher 2. The chap at the back is outstanding!

What about you? Do you have a favourite?

Is there anything to learn from these photos? Attention to detail for one. Looking at the whole frame, not just the bit in the middle for another. And, most importantly, don't take yourself too seriously!
