Do you know what makes a strange face turn into something familiar in an instant? It’d be a smile – a genuine, smile. A strange face on the street, that you have never seen before, seems so impenetrable, so unreadable when the countenance is straight. However, with curves by the lips, the eyes twinkling, the dimples deepen and the skin creases up to show you how they’re not very different from you.

A photographer, Jay Weinstein went on a journey to capture regular people on his way and showed them in two different lights – one with a straight face and one with a smile. The results are just amazing! Take a look.
