Getting Malchera to smile

People often ask, why I look so morose in my photographs.

 

This is the first attempt. I make a joke, by sticking my tongue out

Here is the next attempt

and another. I am getting a bit self concious

I tried to do, this one without opening my mouth, by this time, you could see colum get annoyed

and finally,

It took Robyn 5 tries. This is one of my oldest friends. I am in a happy place, one of my favourite bars.

Oh, and forgive me for stating the obvious but Robyn is very pretty. Its just that difficult for me to smile in a pose.

I do it naturally or not at all
