A Photograph is a personal snapshot from someone's life before the outbreak. It belongs to the Memento class and weighs next to nothing.
Looking at it gives a small lift against boredom. Its weight makes it easy to keep a few in a pocket for a quiet moment. Its bigger value is as a piece of the world, since each print shows a scene from an ordinary life.
Photographs are common. Desks, keepsake boxes, attics and closets hold them, and many zombies carry one.
Reading
A Photograph is looked at, not read, so the glance takes only a moment. The relief from boredom is small, the same as an Old Photograph. After one print has been viewed, other prints with the same title stay dull for a while. A mix of different titles gives more relief than a stack of one scene.
Each print gets a title when it spawns. The everyday scenes include a prom, a sleeping cat, a band, a sunset and Thanksgiving. Some carry a joke, like a camera-shy old lady or someone who clearly hates photos. The generic print comes in three looks: a landscape and two shots of people.
Two other versions share this page. The secret and racy prints carry their own sets of titles. They work the same way as the generic print.
Variations
The Photograph comes in 3 versions with the same stats. Only the look changes.

Locations
Woodcraft set counters always hold one. Desks in any building hold one about half the time. Cigar box keepsakes come close behind. Zombies in evacuee outfits carry one more than a third of the time. Bedroom desks, attics, closets, halls, living rooms and garage storage hold them about one time in five. Pawn shop display cases and hoarder homes give them at a similar rate. Zombies in survivalist outfits carry one now and then.
