Chin face

Christmas 1985. I had shown brother David the "chin face" video I recorded at friend Jim's bachelor party (I'd painted a goofy face on Jim's chin and he laid on his back for a video camera to capture him lip-synching Beethoven's Joyful Joyful). David, an illustrator, was ready to take it up a notch. He painted faces on several of our chins, and I did his chin and Mom's. We sat comfortably upright in front of a video camera mounted upside down, hooked to TV so we could see what expressions we were creating. (Poor Dad: we assigned him some funky Michael Jackson song he didn't know. Made us all laugh.)
