Location The photos were taken at home in Mexico, after I came back from my one month trip to Europe.

During that trip, I was sending postcards to myself each day, a kind of a game that, once I would be back home, the trip would still live in me through my postcards.

This book shows the postcard itself, picture side and the reverse side, the writing. I also carried with me a little black book that kept the dates and locations visited each day, with tickets entrances to anything we visited along the day, including drying up roses inside the back pages of the little book. That book ended to be a great value to me in making this photo book. What a nice collection of postcards and personal notes‌ Enjoy!

About the Author

‘…My friends I'll say it clear. I've lived a life that's full. I traveled each and every country I've loved, I've laughed and cried.

I've had my fill of moments. And now may I say it in my shy way.

In this way, enjoy my Friends…’ http://labelleaurore.wordpress.com/

I am Suzanne Pepin and live in Mexico. My passion for photography started in 2004 while backpacking in Italy and Greece, with my little Olympus camera. I was amazed of the end result of those pictures taken. I then realize that I had an eye for seeing different objects that others would not notice.

In 2008, I received as a gift my Canon Rebel T1i and have been in love ever since with this wonderful ‘Rebel’ that have a mind of its own.
