I rarely smile in photos either. I just do not feel I have the whitest teeth and I tend to smile awkwardly. There are a number of reasons why people did not smile in old photos. They may have felt embarrassed by their teeth. Remember way back when they did not have access to the dental care we have today. Their teeth were probably horrible if they had any teeth at all. Perhaps they were all gums! They may have felt down. They just did not want to force a fake smile. However, a more realistic reason was probably that they had to stand so long in the old days. After you have to stand for so long, the happiness for taking the picture tends to fade.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/6E4D9544-AAA6-43C6-925C-9737DEB2F88A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
