In George Bernard Shaw’s novel Immaturity, there’s a clever and ever-comprehensible conditional sentence: “If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.”
Often, this bond of familiarity translates into moments in which we’re completely ourselves. It’s a moment like this that Samantha Eyre captured, and that the readers of Maple Grove Magazine voted as Readers’ Choice.
Samantha Eyre was just hanging out with her stepbrother Kyle and stepsister Kelli when this photo opportunity occurred. “He was wearing these extremely reflective sunglasses, and we were laughing about how when we talked to him, all we could see was ourselves.” This gave her the idea to have Kelli pose in the reflection. Eyre, a Maple Grove resident who attended Bemidji State University and studied digital design, loves to experiment with different angles. “It was a surprisingly quick shot,” Eyre says, “I didn’t have to stand too far away to be out of it.”
