old photos

IMG_6881
 For the past few months, my parents have been scanning in old slides.  We've laughed at all the pictures and smiled at all the memories my mom has from her childhood.  It's so cool to think that these things happened years ago, and we can still "re-live" them through photographs.  It makes me happy to think that the pictures I take now will bring back memories later on.  It's just one of the reason photography is so cool.

xo,
(p.s. - sorry we're so late today!)

  2. This is great! And I agree, re-living moments is definitely part of what makes photography so amazing. :)

  4. So, so true. I remember doing the same thing a couple years back with pictures from my moms childhood and it was really neat! :)

  5. I love this. A few days ago, my mom uncovered an old photo of my grandfather. He passed away several years ago from lung cancer -- the photo was of him twenty years ago, riding a buckin' bronco machine. She started telling me stories about him. That is the beauty of photography♥

  6. This is one of my favorite ways of making nostalgia - in other words, this is one of my favorite ways to make myself or my family extremely nostalgic. The other day I was looking through old pictures - maybe five years back - of our family. I felt like crying; nostalgia had swept over me like an ocean tide.

    Also, you're right...photography means so much - for the past, present, and future. It is an infinity art!

  9. i love slides--when my great-aunts died, they left *hundreds* of old slides and a slide projector for my dad. we had so much fun "re-living" the 1920s, 30s, 40s....up until the seventies i think. :) ah, to go back in time would be amazing... :D
