How can I participate?

Simple: By stepping in front of my camera and sharing some laughs so that I can capture that beautiful smile of yours!

Okay, so... where are you?
I currently reside in the Syracuse, NY area of the United States, so I'll be starting this project around here. I also frequently travel to Buffalo, NY, since I have a great many friends out that way (I used to live there, too). If you're in either of these areas, you'll have the greatest opportunity to participate in this project. I do, however, plan on traveling a lot more after the end of this year, so I'm hoping this can take me to more places than I have originally imagined. Please feel free to contact me anyways even if you're not in my area of regular travel, because who knows, maybe you live in a place that I'm dying to visit! I love making friends around the world, too.

What is this?

How Many Smiles is a blog project dedicated to posting as many of my portraits of people smiling as possible so as to promote a happier, healthier vibe on this planet. Since smiles are contagious, my hope is that this project will contribute to the overall well-being of not only those who view this blog, but to the entire planet.

So... how many smiles can I photograph?
