when i was six, i recall getting fifty cents from the tooth fairy for my first tooth.... inflation has hit everywhere.... the boy lost the first one on thursday, and then another yesterday :lol3 at this rate i may need to sell another lens to keep up!

canon 1Ds Mark II with canon 100mm f/2.8 macro aboard. shot in raw, converted in acr and processed in ps cs2. love the spot healing brush feature, that's awesome ... trevor had just had a bunch of oreo cookies, so there was cookie around the corners of his mouth. the spot healer took care of it in no time. click pic for exif.

Oh my, I have the tooth fairy to look forward to :-)

CJ's teeth are so perfect now... I can only hope his permanent teeth don't take after mine, LOL!

Trevor's growing up fast! So what's the going rate for the tooth fairy these days?

Cute photo!

This is a nice shot Andy. I like the view angle. His expression is great and is a nice transition from sharp to smooth soft background.

........................ im talking 6 weeks ago :uhoh I must be cheap I don't think you're cheap at all. My grandsons get $2 per tooth and I thought that was a lot. When we started with our kids, they got a quarter. By the time we got to the last kid it was $1. But then, I remember when a loaf of bread was a quarter...... Shoot, my daughter remembers when a loaf of bread was a quarter. Any of you remember when a loaf of bread was a nickle? Not me, I'm not that old. :rofl

By the way Andy, that's a great shot of a really cute kid. :thumb
