You know what they say– the family that caters together stays together.
In a model analogous to Look At This Fucking Hipster, Awkward Family Photos is a nifty little blog of, well, awkward family photos an snarky commentary. There is something inherently uncomfortable looking at these photos, at least for me, because some either bring up specific knowledge of photos of my family… or at least evoke the “there I go but for the grace of God” sentiment.
Ok, maybe not there I go but… you know what i meant. Still, there is something charming about the Awkwardian Era, Awklord of the Rings, and even that infamous godawful Christmas photo. The appeal lies in the naked exposure of each of us in our dorky glory when we are not trying to be anything beyond being happy with our family.

I have so many pics of my family shoving food in their faces, I think I ought to to put a flickr page together for it. My favorite part of taking those pics over the years, is the immediate response I get from said family members. Most were of pure disgust that I would ever do such a thing. I wish I got pics of that.
I suspect publishing a photo of my big brother wearing a Stars and Stripes bandana at age 15 would be slightly awkward for him. Not cool at the best of times but when your in England…
