002. The family portrait
We wanted a family photo that captured what really matters. The starter is eleven years old and still rising.

Make a painfully sincere 1990s department-store family photograph of two adults in matching denim posing with their enormous sourdough starter. The glass jar sits on the younger adult’s knee. Add a soft, ghosted close-up of the same jar in the upper corner.

003. The open house
The listing said “waterfront views.” We should have asked follow-up questions.

Photograph a smiling real-estate agent holding open the door of a beautiful little house. Pull back just enough to reveal the entire house is a plastic castle inside a goldfish tank. An enormous goldfish studies the agent through an upstairs window.

013. The sour note
The duck was not on the setlist. The pianist is the only one who noticed.

Make a smoky black-and-white jazz club photograph of a trumpet player mid-solo. A bright yellow rubber duck is firmly wedged in the bell of the trumpet. The pianist in the background has just noticed. Selective yellow color.

014. The little black dress
The dress is garbage. Literally. The bin is wearing the same silhouette, and honestly, it’s working.

015. The stakeout

Inside the doll: one potato with rosy cheeks and a family resemblance. The set is now complete.

021. The backyard eclipse
The cheese has blocked the sun. The burger has accepted its fate. The grill is ready.

026. The password vault
The vault is open. The password is on a sticky note. Security is a state of mind.

Photograph a massive steel bank vault standing wide open. Inside, on a velvet pedestal under a spotlight, sits a single yellow sticky note bearing only the handwritten word “password”. Make that word large and clear, straight-on view.

027. The apology cake
The cake says SORRY. The Y is making a run for it. The bakery stands by its work.

Photograph a bakery display case containing a crooked cake that visibly slumps to the left. The icing on top spells just “SORRY” and the final Y slides down the side. Pastel frosting, utterly professional product lighting.

028. The suburban safari
Two shopping carts at the watering hole. A handbasket has joined the herd. Nature is healing.

034. The valet
The tricycle has been parked. The white glove is on the seat. The tip is a juice box.

The olive is in the water. The rescue boat is a lemon peel. The cocktail straw is the lifeline.

The rent is $300 a month, but the fridge repeats one thing you say every day. Still moving in? What gets you evicted?
