Look Good in Party Photos

My brother-in-law relayed this great tip: when the photographer comes around taking candids at the next company party, or the waiter snaps a photo of your table at a restaurant, give him your most enthusiastic "thumbs up" sign.

You'll have a better chance of looking happy and engaged in what's happening, instead of looking awkward and embarrassed (if not actually sullen).

(If you're the photographer, here's another good tip: tell your group to wave. I learned this from Derrick when he took our favorite group photo at our wedding reception ... everyone was laughing and smiling, with no frozen poses in the bunch.)
