Love this creative idea...a faceless family portrait! It was taken by the self-described "insanely happy interior designer and photographer" Lori Andrews (aka the 10 Cent Designer).

He started developing his own, unique style at a very young age. In fact, he can still vividly remember the genesis of it all - when he would voraciously read comics in his grandmother's candy store.
