It's that time of year again—family cookouts, fishing with Grandpa, multi-generational sing-a-longs beside the RV. But photog David LaChapelle knows that when the clan gets together, things can, and often do, get nasty. In the latest Vogue Homme the always provocative LaChapelle offers up "The Americans"—a simulated family photo album of alcohol-fueled hijinks straight out of the '70s with a splash of perversion that's absolutely timeless. Granny throws her legs up like a stripper. Cousin Jeff crashes out after shooting skeet. We're not even gonna tell you what Uncle Frank just did. For the normally staged and very exacting LaChapelle, it's a welcome vacation into the kind of chaos only kin can create. (Slam X Hype)
