Smiles in Africa

Everywhere I went, children yelled, "Snap me!" Nobody seemed afraid or hesitant to have their photograph taken. 

But while many children would grin from ear-to-ear when a camera turned toward them, adults had a way of shutting off any happy expressions. Nearly every grownup I photographed had to be urged to smile with their teeth. And I have to say, the urging was nearly necessary, because how much more personality do you see behind the toothy grins? Special thanks to Rick Miller and Pastor 'Professor' 'Doctor' Justus for helping get some authentic smiles....totally worth it!
