I want my Monterey Roast Beef Sandwich
There's nothing really exceptional about this picture. It's your standard portrait of a mom and her son working at the family fale'oloa.

What I love about this shot is her t-shirt. Here's this woman wearing an "I want my Monterey Roast Beef Sandwich" from Jack in the Box in one of the most remote parts of Samoa on the island of Savai'i.

The thing is, this is hardly remarkable. I find Samoans wearing t-shirts like this all over the country. For a long time I wanted to start taking pictures of these people and their incongruous ofus.

I always wonder where these shirts come from and how they get to Samoa. My training host family had a bunch of them (which they made me wear). My favorite was the sleeveless Washington State University sweatshirt.

So does this mean you got your digital camera already?
