WELCOME!

If a picture is worth a thousand words, why can't words be worth a thousand pictures?

That's the premise behind Smile For The Camera ~ A Carnival of Images. Smile is a monthly showcase of articles that will feature the very best of your family photographs or those orphan photographs contained in your collection. The goal of this carnival is to provide a regular showcase of the best of those cherished photographs and articles based on word prompts.

This carnival consists of a listing, with editorial comments, of a range of recently-published articles about the people, places, and things important to your family history or of interest in your photographic collections. Smile For The Camera is published on the 15th day of each month.

The "I Smile For The Camera" bumper sticker is yours for posting on your blog. Right click and copy.
