Passport Photographs

You know the sort of thing - a long strip of pictures - you try to look cool in one, goofy in the next, your friend jumps in for the third and you flash ‘peace’ signs in the fourth. They end up split up and folded in your wallet or purse. But they make you smile when you find them again.
