Most of my life, when posing for a picture of any sort, I look at the
camera and smile. I think as a little kid it must have been ingrained
into me, "Look at the camera and smile!" And apparently, my husband
was taught at the same school of modeling. We have millions of pictures together and we always look the same- Smiling, and looking straight at the camera.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
But sort of by accident, while we were on our vacation to the Oregon coast, somehow, my friend snapped a picture of our husbands and they both sort of sneered and didn't look the camera. And magic happened! We laughed so hard at the result...

From that point on during our trip, every time the camera was taken out someone would say, "Don't look at the camera and don't smile".

| pensive... |

| cool.. |

Usually, this approach to picture posing seems to work. Sometimes though, you might end up looking a little stiff and mannequin-like.
