Pull out the album, blow the dust off and take a look at history. Your history.
I get a real joy out of looking at old Photographs but I guess they are a novelty now since the boom of the digital camera. However, my last batch of prints were probably when I was around 15 and they all depict an awkward me, with an interesting pink fringe and a love of wide criminal damage jeans. Don't laugh...I know you all had a pair. So I guess I will lock those snaps away for a good number of years until I can claim them as 'Vintage', and then everyone will think dressing like a member of the band All Saints was all the rage.
I came across some old photos including a few taken in the 30s when my Grandparents on my Papa's side got married. I heart sun faded sepia and black and white shots. Check out the hair and clothes, they have that Casablanca vibe. My favourite is the last picture of my Grandpapa basically looking like a G, staring at the camera knowing he just bagged himself a hot wifey.

What I also love is how you can see the trends of the past being reflected in the trends of present times. These following images show the classic 60s beehive a la Hairspray/Amy Winehouse, and also how the clothes of school children in 50s Philippines could easily be included in an American Apparel collection. Check out those high waisted circle mini skirts!!!
So let's not let the printed photo die! Let's start the photo scrapbook revival or even better, send a loved one photo in the post. Yes, the Post...not email.
