I've always bought postcards as souvenirs rather than books or...souvenirs. Not only cheap and portable, they are memories of my travels, snapshots of that time, generally support art museums but also I just picked a lot of these highly famous photographs way before I was an architect even, let alone a photographer. In undergrad photography I was like 'oh, Ive got that (famous) photo (and photographer) in my kitchen' when we were shown stuff.
ok, I have a penchant for crosses too. My Costa Rican one fell down the other day and I haven't had time to re-install it. These faded, fat covered Wim Wenders photos from when he was making 'Paris, Texas', 3 states and 8 homes later, still make me happy.
