i’m jealous of ‘dear photograph’
This makes me want to cry. I’m not sure why. It must have something to do with childhood nostalgia, and the fact that even though the streets and houses haven’t changed that much, we have. We’re all grown up, and we’ll never be little again… but I digress. These images are part of a lovely online project called “Dear Photograph”. Anyone {yes, even you!} can send in a photo to be part of the collection. All you have to do is “take a picture of a picture from the past in the present.” Easy… and apparently kinda sad, if you’re a sentimental sap like me.
these are amazing!
The best ideas are often the simple ones, very inspiring!
i think the nostalgia also has to do with the photographs themselves…. they aren’t digital, and they have that yellowed, i’ve-been-in-a-box-and-taken-out-occasionally look to them… which i equate with my childhood.
which is all to say, i totally get what you’re saying here…!
This just sends me.
I agree, I was tearing up too…. there’s just something bitter/sweet about yesterday.
WOW. Cool. I’m a sap too. That first one. :::SOB!:::
phew! glad i’m not the only sap out there! ; )
These are so wonderful. It’s amazing how much changes, yet how much stays the same.
