THE BACK PAGES

Why are they called
"BACK PAGES?"

No. It's not because they are like the last pages in the old photo album.

These are pages that keep growing. When a photograph is found that fits a certain group or category such as BIG HATS, they are added to that page. The page keeps growing.

And ...That's it.

THE KIDS
