JR sent in this example of "GI Humor" from a forwarded email... perhaps the soldier who created the sign grew up with a "My First Photo's" album.

But isn’t “photo’s” an abbreviation of “photograph”? Don’t you use an apostrophe when omitting part of a word?
"Photo" is also a word on its own, though.. and I doubt that in the singular form the person who wrote this sign is using photo'. ;)
I think you can both be right; but sarah Jean's point has a tad more validity because the ' would not exist if you only write 'photo' (unless, of course, you put one at both ends of the word!)
