Throwback: With Auntie

Guest photographer: The subject herself!

 Bernadette is a very abstract photographer. 

 This one is really about what isn't in the photo.

 She won't reveal the meaning of this, one of her more enigmatic works. Some say the three fingers represent the members of her immediate family. Others suggest it invokes the Holy Trinity. In numerology, three relates to optimism and joy. She also may have just seen Steph Curry do it.

Also, selfie!
