September 12th - Smile, Won't You?

I had a pretty busy day today and didn't have an idea so I opted for a self portrait.
A few pbase friends have chided me for not smiling more in my self portraits.
Whenever I try to take a "smiley" SP I think they look forced.
I end up doing moody SP's instead.
I took a different approach tonight.
I started by making faces at the camera and looking at the results.
Pretty stupid, but along the way I started laughing and smiling.
That's how I got to this...

And, no, you don't get to see the rejects!

LOL @ northstar! Poor Todd - apparently your smile is scary and yet people complain when you look solemn. Can't win! ;-)

chortlesome! Though I'm thinking of Jack Nicholson in 'The Shining' a bit... I may sleep with the light on tonight.
