Just as with my thesis topic, I am unable to narrow down just what it is that I wish to focus on. I have found it. This photograph. Observe, please.

I may be wrong, but this image lends itself well to a rich and well-storied history as well as the evacuation of that history and the overwriting of the idea of a modern American family as they celebrate Christmas. Love the high heel foot raise!

Or, maybe it's just ironic and I'm a dope. I'm open to that interpretation as well.
