Sitting on a boat in front of the bridge, I look as big as the bridge.
"Capacity of objects to serve as traces of an authentic experience."
Walking out of Magic Kingdom with one of these balloons shows the world that you were in Disney.
"The souvenir reduces the public, the monumental, and the three dimensional into the miniature. That which can be enveloped by the body."
A small polaroid photo makes three people and a blue van able to fit in the palm of my hand.
"Nostalgia can be sustained without loss."
In this photo I was able to show a sense of nostalgia. Photos are the best way to show nostalgia and that there is no sense of loss.
"To have a souvenir of the exotic is to possess both a specimen and trophy."
When I think exotic I think of exotic animals. These birds come to my mind. They are a specimen of the day I had at the zoo and a trophy that I was able to feed them in my hand.
