    I was searching through the newly listed dags and came across this one within the first 10 minutes of listing and immediately purchased it without thinking. This is one of the very few dags I have seen of people smiling. The baby looks like she is laughing as if the photographer is doing something to get him to smile! The mother is also smiling as well! And then the dad just looks unimpressed by the whole thing lol!

    That is fabulous! Have you received the other one from ebay yet? Can't wait to see it when it arrives.

    Impressive that the kid was able to sit still. Exposure times weren't exactly what they are today.
