Was Lincoln's Depression a Blessing?

I agree with Susan. For years, I was told that one had to stand very still, don't smile because it might cause blurring. Then I had a photographic historian with the NPS explain things about photographs being considered big events in one's life.

I know a man now close to fifty who will not smile for any camera. When he was a child, his father made fun of his goofy smile in a photo; he has never smiled in any other pose.
