Get yourself onto dear photograph for a wee peruse. I say few mins, as the site appears to be in it's infancy, but give it a few months, and you could lose an hour in here easy. The premise is 'take a picture of a picture from the past in the present' (still with me?) and its so simple and effective.
It makes photographs much more than your usual 'flick through'. It makes them stand out, and brings a relevance and poignancy to the past. And these are photos of complete strangers! You will do well if some don't bring a tear to your eye. I didn't quite manage it...
'Dear Photograph,
there's a reason we had to paint these stairs blue. They just weren't as colorful without these two.'

'Dear Photograph,
We outgrew the clothes, but never the visits with you, Daddy.'
'Dear Photograph,
thank you for everything we had.'
'Dear Photograph,
this was the best day. 650 days and counting.'
