Weekly photo session: Smile Project winners

So this is way late.  Sorry.  I’m not very good about keeping promises or commitments.  I’m the deadbeat dad of blogging…though it kind of seems like most bloggers are.  That makes me feel better.

Anyway, here are the winning pictures of my Smile Project, something I initiated to get me more comfortable with smiling big toothy (the project doesn’t apply to the closed mouth smile…I’m a pro at that) believable grins before my brother’s wedding (for those of you that don’t know, I tend to get insanely uncomfortable when trying to smile naturally for a camera (I’m way more comfortable with being all posy and fierce…which screws me over most of the time) and it all comes across as fake and/or frightened and/or jacked).  The event is in a few weeks and I figured it was time to reveal the best of my results.

Here are my main findings:  I look best when slightly drunk and blown out (the extreme paleness of my skin seems to distract from any awkwardness that may come across in my features…I think).  So I figure if Eric sneaks in a flask (sure, there will be liquor at the wedding…I’m just one of those people that’s not really comfortable drinking in front of my parents so I’m gonna keep it on the down low) and the wedding photographer is ridiculously untalented, I’ll be cool.
