Look at that smile!

The Shutter Sisters post today discusses how taking a picture of someone without showing any or part of the face totally changes the focus of the picture.

This is a picture of my son I took about a month ago for a scrapbooking project and I was very pleased with the results. You can't miss the focus of this photo! Beautiful smile and MISSING TEETH! We adopted our son from Vietnam in Dec. 2006 (he was 3 1/2 yrs. old) and when we arrived at the orphanage we discovered that about half of one of his front teeth had been broken off. When we got back to the US we had him checked out and he had been living with exposed nerves!!!! Since he was only 3 1/2 yrs. old, our Dentist suggested that we just pull both front teeth (the gum above the other front tooth was infected) instead of doing major dental work on baby teeth. Soooo, if you ask our son what happened to his two front teeth, he will tell you he broke them and now they are in a box. He will then let you know that he will have to be 7 or 8 before his teeth come back and that's a REALLY LONG time from now. It's really sweet!

Hi, thanks for your comment. Welcome to the world of blogging. I like this photo--without the rest of the face your eye automatically focuses on your son's beautiful smile (even without the teeth!)
