finding prints

Finding prints.  We all do this.  Some sachet through racks in the front swanky stores.  And there are some who push-shove through the overcrowded & used of our favorite thrifting spots, too.  We look.  In a way, we look for a bit more of us.  For the aesthetic representation of our insides outwardly to share with the world.
