 i got a new camera.  it has this "smile detection" feature that supposedly allows it to catch smiles as soon as they happen.  naturally, we had to test it out (10/26/07)

Karen's first try

it works!

smile in profile?

another sneaky smile

apparently, it can even tell when you're only smiling on the inside.
