What happens when you don't see yourself in the photo?

The stories we keep, the ones we miss, and the moments that shape us.

Every family has photo hang-ups.


You just tend to notice them on other people’s walls first.

A wedding photo that includes an ex-girlfriend that never came down.

A sibling who seems to appear everywhere but not you.

A photo you cringe at but someone else clearly loves.

What’s the Hang-Up? looks at the stories behind the family photos we display, hide, keep, and sometimes wish would disappear.

Every photo tells two stories: the one it shows, and the one each of us sees.
