I, too, like to try to keep things simple, but I seem to vacillate between the simple and the more complex (read: fiddling). I'm working more, however, on the simplicity part. Less to have to think about.

One thing I've found over the last year or so is that asking people to be as serious, stern or angry as they can is often the best way to get a natural smile or reaction. They try as hard as they can to pull a particular face or expression, then when finished, the pretense drops and a genuine smile often appears.<BR/><BR/>The 'goofy' expressions are Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18198290151737317627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18928719.post-62066246817383760392008-04-23T15:02:00.000-05:002008-04-23T15:02:00.000-05:00This is quite amazing for such a quick 'n' limitin...This is quite amazing for such a quick 'n' limiting project (and from a self-professed "lazy" guy too!).
