... don't you?
There is a series of books under the title MILK ... they feature photos from all over the world on a theme like family or friends or love.
I just found this web site with a competition that they had run and the photos make me smile.

An overview of MILK ... taken from their website
Inspired by the 1950’s landmark photographic exhibition, “The Family of Man”, M.I.L.K. began as an epic global search to find unique and geographically diverse images on the themes of friendship, family and love. It was not only the richest in photographic history, but also one of the most significant, drawing participation from 17,000 professional and amateur photographers in 164 countries. In total over 40,000 images were received by M.I.L.K., including at least four Pulitzer Prize-winners. The 300 winning images were chosen by the Chief Judge Magnum photographer Elliott Erwitt, and were the basis for three books entitled Family, Friendship and Love and an international touring exhibition launched at New York’s Grand Central Terminal in 2001.
The books are very special and would make a wonderful gift for a special person.
