Universal Language
Even the most tense shoot can be turned around with just a smile -on either side of the lens! Over the years I have been able to explore so many places closed to most just by spending some time and sharing some humor with those that would have me keep out.
I have found that no matter what the tongue, a smile can convey more than the thickest dictionary.
This blog entry is a few images of smiles that I have had the privilege to share.
“We are not going to change the whole world, but we can change ourselves and feel free as birds. We can be serene even in the midst of calamities and, by our serenity, make others more tranquil. Serenity is contagious. If we smile at someone, he or she will smile back. And a smile costs nothing. We should plague everyone with joy. If we are to die in a minute, why not die happily, laughing?”
― Swami Satchidananda
