I found this paint splashed, battered old photograph in an old box recently – I took it of some friends many years ago, and it really brought back memories. What I remember was particularly amazing to me in this photograph is that Janet (right) was smiling. I had never seen Janet smile! So I always felt that there was something special about the moment. And I remember trugging about in my old boots, just looking and catching moments as they flew by…I don’t know if I romanticise, but somehow it felt like that old, inexpensive, heavy camera was closer to my body, more connected to the experience..

Old images, particularly ones long forgotten, are great for reviving distant memories! 🙂
They are indeed! 🙂
I love this picture and all the marks and stains; the wear and tear of time that it displays. It’s history and memory and time passing… and there’s a sense of youthful abandon and freedom about it which is very charming.
Lovely thoughts, thanks Emily – I love that it’s all bashed up too somehow, though I wish I’d taken better care of the camera….! 🙂
