[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, I lived in Europe for many years, in several countries. In my experience, eastern europeans are far far less likely to smile in photos and feel that it is corny. There are basically entire countries filled with family pictures of everyone constantly looking like a relative just died. Germany to some extent is similar - they do not like to put on a grin in their photo unless something overwhelmingly joyous is happening at the moment.[/quote] It's so funny you say that - my family is Eastern European originally (Jewish!), and my mom has a whole wall of old family photos in my childhood home. Everyone looks like they have just gotten the worst news of their life, and now someone's here to memorialize that moment. [/quote]
