I love humor in photos. Weejee really captured this well in his photos from the ’50s. Here’s one I took while in New Orleans that I always chuckle at: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150429549673197&l=6991217353

Excellebt examples! Capturing the emotion the way you want can be so difficult at times. One of my all time favorites is one where my son “got into character” and really played it up, something not uncommon for him. The expression is priceless! http://www.flickr.com/photos/33414049@N08/6374408841/in/photostream

I like the two people bent like the U-turn sign.
I went out look for smiley faces one day and found this behind a restaurant:

I was inspired by an American Express commercial.
