A snapshot of a snapshot in time

I was searching for a photo to accompany a piece I wrote last week about the Tooth Fairy and her place in our little family history. I had to really think about this — no-one has yet, as far as I know, photographed her (or him or it). I also realised that a photo of a tooth might not work so well either, teeth are not actually very photogenic — they’re small, discoloured and often bloody.
