November 2012

Project Smile began a couple of years ago (2010, if memory serves correctly) by a photographer like me who battles depression in the winter months, due to lack of daylight. The project goal was to capture photos of things that bring smiles, a tool to fight depression. I participated the entire first winter and then was heartbroken when it didn't continue in 2011.
