The Beauty of a Toothless Grin
Cheryl Dorskind: This photograph of a child with a toothless grin actually features my daughter, Joelle. I included this one to show that the toothless grin is really a wonderful memory to photograph.
Some parents want to get their children's photographs before they loose their teeth. I get a lot of requests for that and I always say, "A toothless grin is just so terrific, so full of personality. You might not want to skip it." (click the image for a larger version)
This toothless grin photograph of my daughter is a digitalized hand painted print. I did that in Photoshop with a black and white digital image that is painted with a digital brush. It's as nice as the real thing.
In Conclusion
Sometimes we get so wrapped up in trying to capture the memories we think we want that we overlook the memories we really should capture. That's what Cheryl Machat Dorskind reminds us of in this adorable photograph of a toothless grin.
