Joanne and Trace, No Distractions
Lassry’s photographs play on such conventions as the still life, the family portrait and the headshot. When using images taken directly from other sources, appropriation is used as a means, rather than an end... Lassry co-opts Life Magazine’s "Amateur Faces" First Prize winning photo for 1970 — "When Kent Barton, a 28-year-old North Miami art director, couldn't get his 3-month-old son Trace to sit properly for a formal portrait, he asked his wife Joanne to help, and made this picture.”

Yes and no.
Although never intended to be The End, a closing post was made on October 10, 2013. Since then, the blog has been sitting here, in limbo, but never quite dormant. It sort of lives on.
Stork Bites Man may or may not get updated, appended, relocated, or deleted. And you never know, posts may start showing up again, but for now, it will just be here. An archive of a particular time.
If you have any thoughts or memories to share, or have an interest in Stork Bites Man t-shirts, please get in touch.
Thanks for visiting.
