This turned up.  

Here is the story. Many years ago, in the early 1970s perhaps, Dad shot a Bar Mitzvah for a local family. When delivering the pictures he included one that he had mounted on a frame that was popular at the time. A frame that looks like it was chiseled off a tree. The type of thing you would put in your 70s living room, above your orange couch, on a paneled wall.  

Though the family did not order the picture, Dad was sure they would take it on this exquisite frame. Turns out, they weren’t biting. 

So, rather than throw it out (or give it to them,) Dad hung it on the wall in his equipment room- the extra bedroom in our apartment. This would be the sample portrait to show customers like all good photography studios keep some on their walls. 

The photo hung on that wall for some 45 years, no one bothered taking it down. So the picture was like a running joke in the family. And if a guest would ask who those people are, we didn’t have a good answer. It remained until we vacated the apartment with Dad’s stroke.   

For a while I kept it on the wall of the den- (my YouTube studio) but there was really no one to get the joke. So it sat behind a bookcase- until now when it became a blog post. Have a Koshern Pesach all.
