| This photograph was taken by my mom in February of 1975. The people in the photo are her half-brother's best friend "Zeek" Cryps and his girlfriend at the time. My mom was 14 years old when she took the photo and hid this photo and others for a while as horrible memories of a childhood surrounded by alchoholics in rural Michigan.
Cryps is about in his late to mid 30s when this photograph was taken. He died some odd years later of health problems due to substance abuse. I think this photo needs to be seen. It is simultaneously hilarious and frightening. |
