Jimmy, always out of shot, now officially *not* in shot.

The latest saga in the enduring quest for familial harmony sees young Jimmy, a man frequently informed of his valued presence within the sprawling clan, entrusted with the weighty responsibility of capturing their collective visage. This pivotal role, traditionally reserved for a designated elder with questionable photographic skills or an expensive hired professional, now falls to the individual most adept at observing from the periphery. One might call it a stroke of genius in modern family dynamics.

Preserving these "precious memories" requires a steady hand and an objective eye, qualities perhaps best cultivated by someone routinely reminded of their *profound welcome* yet distinct outsider status. The unspoken expectation is, presumably, that Jimmy will deliver a perfectly composed family portrait that eloquently testifies to a unity he is, by design, positioned outside of. It's a truly remarkable exercise in symbolic inclusion, ensuring everyone feels involved, particularly the person holding the camera.
