PROBLEM: You want to combine the fine art of vacation kitsch collecting with proof that you were actually away.
SOLUTION: Louise Caldwell of Vienna offers this efficient three-step solution: “Purchase a magnet of a familiar scene from a place you are visiting. Go to the site. Position yourself so you can best duplicate the picture through your camera lens.” Display as shown above. Effective, simple and it’ll cover those ugly scratches on your fridge.
