Giggles & Laughter from OliShaw on Vimeo.

Observations in Motion: Giggles & Laughter


A collage of smiles and laughter taken from 15mins of footage shot one night in June 2011. I've always found laughter much more endearing than smiles, there is something much more authentic about a laugh.

P689

Great tactic use here for one handed eating, drinking and chatting.

One hand to hold both the plate of food and the drink, one hand for the fork and a straw for the drink means you don't need to do any juggling to have a sip of your drink.
