And they’ll have even more opportunities to do so with Tacky Tourist Photos Live, as the traveling exhibit has been dubbed: Comprising more than a dozen images from both the international stuff of dream vacations and roadside pit stops, it was on display at the Tewksbury Public Library through yesterday, and will be again at the Amherst, N.H., Town Library Feb. 28 through March.

Garnick and co-founders Peter Koziell of Methuen and Ilya Mirman of Sudbury hope they’ll be the first of many displays at local museums and locations that, much like photo subjects, appreciate the schticky side of travel.

“We want to claim our rightful spot next to art photography,’’ Garnick, a 43-year-old documentary film producer and freelance journalist, said in all seriousness, noting a “snobbery’’ in both the photography world against snapshots, and in the travel world against tourists.

But the two-year-old website revels in the dirty “T’’ word, receiving about a dozen submissions a week from people – and of landmarks – around the world, and luring in about 400 unique visitors a day, what Garnick called “a steady trickle of people who think like us.’’

All told, the site has a gallery of a few hundred shots – but Garnick knows there are many more out there, languishing on sim cards or in predigital family photo albums.

Among the dozens of images, there tends to be a lot of jumping, heads stuck through cutouts, creative optical illusions – and, of course, a whole lot of hamming it up.
