Souvenir Photographs


Once upon a time, the people of the wealthy industrial countries sent a physical object as a reminder of time happily spent together.

A remembrance of good times spent together, shared affection, exotic locales, hi-jinks, mirth and merriment as well as documents of kids with really big heads on small bodies.
