[nabs-l] Looking good in pictures

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Being photogenic in pictures is a problem for blind and sighted people
alike. Even the most gorgeous people can look terrible in photos. I
don't really know why this is. You can smile and pose just fine and
still not look great in photos, while others can look great no matter
what. Pose and facial expression often have a lot to do with it, but not
always.

Sincerely,

That is a problem with blind and sighted alike.  I can't smile a good
smile 
just because someone tells me to for a picture.  It usually looks like
what 
it is, forced.  However sighted people have the same problems many of my

friends expressed this problem.  I think thinking a private thought
about 
something funny to you is great if it gets you to smile a real smile.
It 
doesn't really matter if others think it's funny if you do and it gets
you 
to smile when the camera flashes
