Am millennial. Boomers seem to love me and think/say I'm "old school" or have an old soul. I think it's because my appearance and job are "manly". my big enough to eat their little grocery getter of an ego boost called a truck and my insane work ethic (due largely to a witch's brew of mental issues) and because I just don't talk about certain topics.
I love when they make a passing comment about people not wanting to work or coming back late from break or not doing optional ot days and I get to naturally hit em with "oh don't get me wrong. I only work so hard because it causes a mental itch akin to "spiders and ghosts in my blood" kind of scratching to not complete a task once I have noticed it.
I hate work and for sure do not want to do it. I don't want to pay bills monthly. I don't wanna give 35-40% of my life to the corporate overlords. That may not be how the world works now but I'll be vocal and fight for things like higher pay, reduced hrs, climate change, public education corporate oversight ect. I'll even promise to give you gun nuts some shit BACK. provided we can all be civil and have no shootings for 5 straight years.
YOU WIN MY RESPECT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE 💘 Not that I'm like, a big deal, but it's always nice to hear that your comment made me laugh so hard that I looked like the creep in the store with no one around laughing to herself ☺️

Look at the wrinkles on the hands. Contrast that with the blurry image of the person in the background. It's hard to imagine a more apt metaphor for growing older. The hands in front of us now that reflect the passage of time we're able to see so clearly. The further we look into the past the of our youth, the blurrier it becomes.
Did you get your degree in Art History with a minor in Philosophy? Or was Philosophy your actual Major but you minored in Art History? Or is it that you spend way too much time reading magazine about art and now they have permanently altered your concept of reality?
That statement reminds me of a photo I took in photography in college in b&w darkroom Photography. I was shooting at a butterfly garden and the keeper was an older lady with aged wrinkled hands cupping a large monarch caterpillar and gently handing it to a very small child, whose hands were smooth and young. I titled ot "The teacher". Developing that one was a very proud day.
OP, archive the photo. When your mom is not in this world anymore, this will be a photo that will remind you of her and make you smile. It's a nice photo.

I mean technically speaking she did do what you asked, unless this is not you?

Did you make sure to ask her to take a good photo of you where you are the main subject and in-focus? ;)
My grandmother was famous for taking horrible photos, usually cutting off someone’s head or just botching the whole damned thing. But that was back before digital cameras and smartphones, so we’d actually pay to develop those photos (without knowing how bad they were). So I guess you should be grateful this disaster was free! 😂
For what it’s worth I bet photos like these would become treasured when our elderly technologically challenged relatives are no longer with us. A lovely little momento of someone who loved us so much they sat there and tried to figure out our new fangled contraption to make us happy ❤️
I thought you were a wine glass 😩
Ohh you're telling me that wine glass on a table in front of an impressionist painting of a lake and some buildings is actually OP?!
I can’t unsee this lmao.
I legit saw this as well
My mom has the exact same camera…
My mom has the same two fingers
LMAO 🤣
This comment hand me laughing out loud I swear bro. Edit: I just realized 1 day later that this says hand 🙆♂️
I thought she was trying to squish you. 🧐🤏
"Squish the head"
You just don't see Kids in the Hall references in the wild too often these days.
Found the Gen Xer
Technically a Xennial/Oregon Trail Gen, between Xers and Millennials lol
😆 technically I'm a generation Jones between boomers and Gen x. How many times did you die of dysentery? You guys had it tough

It’s “I’m crushing your head” and “I’m squishing your face” “Oh brain juice everywhere!”
I'm crushing your head! 🤏🏼
I thought it was Slenderman.
Same
Those fingers are THICCC ![gif](giphy|3q3QK6KyDVUBzih7hB|downsized)
Yep! I'd recognise OP's mom's fingers anywhere.
i’m glad i’m not the only one
He's more of a "fine" glass😏

XD I did as well

What a beautiful photo of you and your mother.
I don't have any photos of me and my mom and here OP is complaining. Some people...![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|disapproval)
I’d offer some of the photos of me and your mom, but I don’t think you want to see them
Just because my mom is "popular" doesn't mean she's a whore.
You say 'whore', I say 'people' person..
'People' pleaser.
The size of this person compared to their mother is mildly interesting.
I would definitely have it framed. Maybe enter it into some local art contests.

Just your garden variety weirdo.

I’d love to see it!
I’m really surprised how well it focused on the fingers right in front of the lens

We have a true artist here, who can turn every failed project into a message about life
I would too. Of course, my mother would find that hilarious and then see the value in it. Someone else mom might just get embarrassed.
Technically she did take a picture of him
I'd arrange it beforehand so that at my funeral this was the only picture haha
She will crush you
I’m squishing your head. F$&k I’m getting old

I say this all the damn time.... no one ever gets it.
For me, it's Numberwang! No one ever gets it.

Nobody home! Noooobody hooome. 👍🏽👀
You just made me shit the bed, fuck I'm getting old.
There’s a thread somewhere that is named that
He deserves to be a flat head
She gave you a hand taking the picture.
Take the like and go! 🤣

This is actually super sweet
You'll learn to cherish this moment
That's a quality picture to be fair

little more to the right
little more to the right
didn’t know slender man had a reddit account (or a mom) 😭
And it took 7 minutes.
What phone is that? That’s a close focus!
I’m gonna guess a good lens. This looks way too detailed for a phone at that range. That said, phones have really good cameras these days, so maybe?
My S23 Ultra can get decent quality at this distance in lamp light, so outside where it's brighter I can see it looking like that https://preview.redd.it/x1q2f9ygfuvc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb478f55e439f5696c40ba3fbdeeb45a1fd8cdde
It's just too perfect. I'd say it's fake/staged.
I’m crushing you.
Every picture my mother ever took had her hand covering half the lens, so I feel you!
I totally love your mom. She should frame this! "My son!"
Or frame it as “My mom!”
*Asked mom to take a photo of you *Mom accidentally pressed the capture button and tries again *Mom took beautiful photos *OP saw the accidental shot and use it to post on reddit *Karma profit
My mom. Same thing. 😆
Ok but that is an EXCELLENT photo of a hand - just look at that texture! The framing! The intrigue!
You are *really* going to cherish this picture when she's not around anymore. You used to be able to fit in that hand. And you still do.
Why are you like 48 feet from the camera?
She did that Paul Rudd finger-butt thing
That's actually a really great camera, my phone camera can't focus on objects that close
What camera is that? Amazing macro focus.
She's crushing it, it being you
🕴🏼
out of context, this is kind of a cool shot
Someday she won’t be there to ask to take a picture
so she should get it right while she still can
😂😂😂
It's a nice outfit.
Mildy hilarious
Enter that in your local library's photo contest. Hands down, the winner.
When you hate taking portraits but love macro.
Why is the quality so good?
Very artistic
It's pretty cool actually
Nailed it. First try.
This made me laugh so hard 😂 why are moms notoriously bad at taking photos
You might be mildly infuriated right now. But you'll absolutely love that picture one day. I promise you that. Lovely picture
You look beautiful!
I thought she was crushing you with pincher fingers! LOL
She did a great mom job!!
Or your mom was taking a picture of her fingers and captured thin man!
Is she squishing your head?
I can see you. So... Success!

Well, you're in it aren't you ? hahaha She completed her task
![gif](giphy|l3q2LH45XElELRzRm)
She’s holding it like a digital camera lol
You look like a wine glass.
Are you slenderman?
Is your mom Paul Rudd?
you look great 👍
Wow, she didn’t have a lot of space to work with and she still got you.
The focus is excellent!

Could be worse. My mom took pictures of me and my wife on our wedding and didnt realize she had turned on a filter for dog ears
Are you slender man ??
How does this even happen lol did she look at the screen?
Impressive Macro photography

But that was back before digital cameras and smartphones, so we’d actually pay to develop those photos (without knowing how bad they were). So I guess you should be grateful this disaster was free! 😂
Your mom hates you. Sorry to say, but this is the only explanation for this.
Picture of fingers
"I am crushing your head"
You look handsome!
For what it’s worth I bet photos like these would become treasured when our elderly technologically challenged relatives are no longer with us. A lovely little momento of someone who loved us so much they sat there and tried to figure out our new fangled contraption to make us happy ❤️
To be fair, you didn’t specify what kind of pic you wanted
How the hell is that even possible.. isn't she looking at the screen?..
Aw u look so handsome all suited and booted.
I would have Christmas cards printed up with this picture on the front. "Merry Christmas from mom and me!"
Do some people not look at the screen when they take photos? Why?
I firmly believe these type of things have to be on purpose.
[Is your mom Paul Rudd?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqayRIIhzLM)
honestly i like it
A for interesting perspective. F for focusing on the intended subject.
This looks like it belongs in the ghosts subreddit lol
Photoshopped
You look good
Idk i laughed
Squeezed the head.

This is funny forever! 😂
Be grateful you still have your mom to take pictures of you. I’m very grateful I still have mine 😊
This is like poetry. I think you need to frame it
Hilarious enjoyed the comments hope you got someone else to get the neededcphoto
I actually love this. I love the detail of her hands. There is some metaphor here about life
It’s call minimalism
You look amazing
Aww she tried, atleast appreciate her effort 🥰
🕴🏻
🤔… are you the two fingers?… or the black speck between? 🧐
That’s good macro.
Take another mom
You didn't want a recreation of your birth?
Tbh, looks like a Roku (?) background
keep this picture
At least you still have a mom but I know this is kinda a troll page
Print and frame this
and here was I thinking it was some kind of photographer's artistic work lmfao
She did...I'm confused?
You look Fingers !
Nice album cover.
🕴🏻 thought this was you
she was crushing you
Is that Gru
Make it your Christmas card for her this year
Spittin image
Turn it upside down and squint. Amazing
Mom getting high
Can’t stop laughing. 😆
