Spent 3 weeks trying to find the actual guy behind that 'crying reindeer' meme, turned out to be a stock photo from a 2009 catalog shoot in Des Moines
I figured the whole backstory would take a lazy afternoon of digging but the trail went cold twice before a former art director at an Iowa catalog company emailed me back saying the reindeer was just clip art they licensed for a holiday mailer, which is way less romantic than the viral story everyone shared.

Wait, wasn't it actually a Getty image from that same shoot?
