To some Ellis Island is the symbol of American immigration and the immigrant experience to others it is a money making venture.
For $25 we purchased the rights to two photos (the same photography--one in black and white and the other in sepia). Once an original photograph of immigrants has turned into a Valentine's Day laughter for others. Crazy!
Of course Ellis Island was much more than a quick photo op to make people later laugh. The building itself was remarkable. Beautiful. I was able to walk the corridors of the very place my grandmother once stood as an immigrant.
