This is so bad you cannot believe he would post it in his Christmas card .
First the choice of background ..Clearly a motel room ..door with crash bar and a trouser press .Very professional .
The son clearly crouched unnaturally with the "Rockwell smile" . The object is to look pleasant not to overdo the smile aspect .
Oh Ken ,you have fallen so low, did you not learn about the profile of people in the back row ? Oh yes being half hidden.
I am not a fan of old men touching young girls so the hand on the shoulder is a no no for me.
Daughter partially behind mum .good looks intimate , facial expressions good .the men rubbish.
I assume there was a bed in the room..how many times have we posed bridesmaids around a bride sitting on the bed? Or KISS .. mum on a chair and the family standing grouped around .
Stick to palm trees. Taco outlets etc Ken

This post should be in the attic, it is a needless attack for no reason

Are you really saying that a Father's hand on HIS daughter's shoulder in No No? Because the man in the photo appears older? That tends to happen to all people, if lucky. Getting older that is.
BTW it's just not a good photo. Period!

Yet another phone photo.

That is odd. Maybe he used a timer to click the shutter, or he had someone take the picture with an old cell phone. This picture needs an explanation.

If this is a joke, well, it is a good one. If by chance this is not a joke and is for real, it should not have been posted here, and above all, not have derogatory comments.
But in my opinion, there are sooooooo many things wrong, that I MUST assume it was meant as a spoof!

This is out of context and he did not take the photo since he is in it, maybe his I-phone on self timer. Yes it is a bad photo but until now I never knew he was a professional photographer. if you read https://www.kenrockwell.com/about.htm he does not use the word professional one time.

No it doesn't. It's KR being KR.
If you are at all familiar with his site - I was, for a couple of months in 2006 before I transitioned to digital and didn't know any better - you should have come across his "About Ken Rockwell" page, where you can fined this paragraph:
"I continue to do this site all by myself for fun — probably the last remaining 1990's for-fun website that hasn't sold out to other interests. Even though it has become popular, presumably because so many people find it helpful, it is still run just for fun. I am this site's only author. I have no one to proofread, spell check or fact check for me, so there will always be errors and omissions. Apparently the world finds my opinions very useful, but remember, they are the opinions of one man. I have a big sense of humor, and do this site to entertain you (and myself), as well as to inform and to educate. I occasionally weave fiction and satire into my stories to keep them interesting. I love a good hoax. Read The Museum of Hoaxes, or see their site. A hoax, like some of the things I do on this website, is done as a goof simply for the heck of it by overactive minds as a practical joke. Even Ansel Adams kidded around when he was just a pup in the 1920s by selling his photos as "Parmelian Prints." I have the energy and sense of humor of a three-year old, so remember, this is a personal website, and never presented as fact. I enjoy making things up for fun, as does The Onion, and I publish them here — even on this page."
This is ALL you need to know . . .

FWIW, I don't find anything to write home about when looking at any his pictures.

Silly attack by a jealous person.
Ken does reviews and this looks like a family snapshot and all are happy and smiling and having a good time.

I rather doubt that you can substantiate the “statistics” you cite about our members. Making such a statement says something, to me at least, about you.

I like his site but his photos are generally awful........colour wise....all oversaturated.

Rockwell has made a good living doing what he does; and he knows more about his business than I do.
It was a sloppy Christmas card snapshot—that is all.
