family photographs (taken with film)



I don't know what is it about family photos, but they also just look so much better than any other photo you might have hanging up in the house.

Everything about them is good.

Back in the day when everyone used film cameras, so already they have more character.

Maybe it's also something to do with the fact we are all so young in them, lack of vanity maybe, enables us to actually see the best facial expressions and outfits that we probably love and hate.

Bring back memories. We can remember a lot from our childhood, but photographs can just remind us of perhaps a strop we may have had, or a particular animal we may have fed at the zoo?








Every single photo is unique as well, it comes on a separate piece of thick paper, with a different kind of worn out shine, with a different amount of scratches on it or whatever. No old family photo fails to be good. No old family photo is ever boring.

I also like how the film photography can make old photos look washed out.
