A Handsome Smile - a photo on Flickriver

A Handsome Smile

Kim knew I had a busy week last week, so she set us an 'easy' theme. 'A simple smile,' how easy is that. Can be done anywhere, quickly and effectively. So I decided that I had to complicate it. I mean, come on! I am feeling the pressure each week, I've gotta keep up my game. I was chatting with some of the cast after one of the performances and Morven (thanks Morv) suggested using my hand. Then I sat back and let it mull over in my mind to come up with this concept.

Super special thanks are due to my beautiful (and long suffering) wife Ros who helped me shoot it late Sunday night when we both should have gone to bed. Thanks also to Kim, Jeff, Scott, Hollie and Windy for helping with the preview - oh and to Windy again for putting me onto Poladroid in the first place. And final thanks to Matt for sending me the moustache - this is not my 'proper' moustache submission - but just to let you know I haven't forgotten it.

Thanks to Aaron for the title.

Want a closer look?

Each week between Monday and Sunday I shoot a self-portrait. I post it the following Thursday. The idea is for me to learn and grow. So give me some critique, don't be shy - tell me what you really think! Thanks
