So Cool! Such a smile!
I often wonder, and have to ask. Do you ever give people a copy of the photos you have taken of them?
It is such a personal thing and may provide some happiness.

Meanest Indian says:

Years ago I took a polaroid camera to India on holiday with 3 films and gave every photo away. Lots of smiles.

Now I just show them on the back of the camera & thats about it -- still gets a great smile but not the same as a print of course.
