We just get a picture of the queen (or is it the king now?)
I really can’t remember the last time I saw a stamp. Let alone licked one.

I suspect a lot of photographers will buy these stamps and keep them as something to appreciate, look at and enjoy rather than actually using them to mail anything! I know that's what I plan to do. For the rare times I need to actually mail something via snail mail I am still using the last batch of "Forever" stamps that I bought a year or more ago.....

We bought an 8x10 photographic print at the Yosemite Gallery, called Jeffer Pine back in 1984.
Ansel Adams launched the Yosemite Special Edition series in 1958. Alan Ross makes each Special Edition Photograph by hand from Adams' original negative on gelatin silver fiber paper. Ross began working side-by-side with Adams as his photographic assistant in 1974; he has been the exclusive printer of this series since 1975.

I believe I will buy a sheet and just stick them around the house in improbable places as wee installations.
