Something Lost...lives On In Stock

	Posted by Bradcalkins on September 27, 2011 @Maigi - indeed, after doing stock photography for a while you start getting a pretty nice collection of memories that you wouldn't have otherwise...
	Posted by Maigi on September 27, 2011 Nice... that was the initial purpose of photography, isn't it? :) To help to keep memories. :)) Nice pics, Brad. Have lots of beautiful memories!

	Posted by Afagundes on September 23, 2011 Interesting topic, I didn't sell them as stock, but I take pictures of all my old t shirts before giving them away.
	Posted by Marilyngould on September 22, 2011 Not lost or broken, but my golf model friend has moved away :( Each time one of his images sell it is a fun reminder of a great day! :)
