It's called a leisure suit, ladies and germs, and if you didn't have one in the early 70s, you were a big fat loser. Mine was teal. I wore it with a silk floral shirt and a long necklace with a football player pendant that we all got at that year's team banquet. I was THE MAN.

A pose like this will get you kicked right out of the Convention.

Oh, this is super. What better way to capture the charm and innocence of a child than to plunk him down amid the coarse trappings of a life lived in pursuit of wealth -- oversized bills, an adding machine and the Wall Street Journal -- and make him sit inside a briefcase? (They probably just fold up the little demon right in there to carry him home.) The finishing touch is the globe, which completes the portrait of the young Antichrist in Chess King vest and Red Goose loafers, plotting his takeover of the world (insert maniacal laugh). That is, as soon as someone changes his poopy diaper.

Olan Mills is all about versatility. The simple addition of a column turns this generic plantation into Tara ,where, apparently, someone opened a Hair Cuttery. (This Dorothy Hamill cut was very popular in 70s after Doro won Olympic gold. Both my sisters had the cut at different times. I did not -- although I did have a huge crush on Dorothy).

There were, maybe still are, a photography studio in the late 70's? early 80's. Also know as one of my first employers......learned how to cold call and get rejected daily.

I am sitting here laughing my @$$ off because ALOT of those look like old family pics that I have. I totally have the one with the plantation and column, the orange ones too. Somewhere there's one of my sister doing the 2 faces of evil like the first one. And yes they were taken at OM. ha ha ha ha :lmao:
Also did anyone notice the Couples with matching hair and the kids in Denim are the same kids?:lol:

No, I was wrong. After looking at larger versions, it's a tie between Thoughtful Lance/Mirthful Lance and "That Dude Wore a Tie for Nothing".
That one will bring spontaneous fits of giggles all day.

My family has a few of those poses too. :shake: I am sure that there are a few of the library poses and the 2 face poses. and a couple of the orange pics. I actually have one of the poses in the glass with the rose from my senior pics (it wasnt from olan mills), lol :)
Olan Mills does have great pics though. all of my baby pics up to about age 3 or 4 are from Olan Mills, they used to do home visits to take pictures at your house.

ETA: There's a similar thread or website to this, only it's bad Wal*Mart photography. (Is there any other kind... :scratchh: ) I can't find it for the life of me, though... :( If anyone can find it, it's worth 4 rep points and my undying gratitude. :)
ETA2: I found the original (http://listoftheday.blogspot.com/2007/09/great-olan-mills-photos.html)Olan Mills one and it has a few more pics on it.

Olan Mills did our Church photo book this year. The pictures turned out! We actually bought some to give as Christmas gifts! (I'm not sure what the people did with the pictures, though.). . . Olan Mills has been around a long time...
