It's a pity that this generation is likely to have far fewer to keep that we did, due to so many images taken digitally and rarely printed. Digital images - even high-res - might be sharper, but lack that magic in my estimation. Thanks for your perspectives!

I have 5 siblings and, recently, thanks to the advent of Zoom-type connections, we've managed a weekly 'meeting' - which is great for me because they're all down in England and I'm in Scotland and would never otherwise see them often. But a theme that's recurred frequently when we meet is the nostalgia of our upbringing (I'm the eldest and they're all, but for the 'baby', in their 70s). It's involved a sharing of photos not only of us but of the special place where we lived (The Barbican, in Plymouth) and our long gone friends,relatives and neighbours. They evoke a world which no longer exists except in those old black and whites and our heads. Looking at them is magic.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345949773423764808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-40533101482267162072020-09-11T10:55:15.824+01:002020-09-11T10:55:15.824+01:00Photographs are such great memories Misha, especia...Photographs are such great memories Misha, especially sepia ones. A group of friends took one in Sefton Park Liverpool in 1971 and we repeated it 47 years later!

Love the old sepia tones... they hark to another era, really. <br /><br />I was fortunate that a cousin took many pictures of me and my siblings and family as we grew up. My mom made many albums of them and it's nice to sit and flip through the pages when I go home. <br /><br />Nowadays, it's just too easy to take digital pics on our phones, and from there, they will probably stay until deleted. Too often, it's 'taking the picture' that is more important than 'looking at it' afterward. <br /><br />Sounds like you have a catalogue of your life in pictures, and that is a precious link to your memories. :)<br /><br />Hope you're well, <br />eden<br /><br />Eden Bayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043540142363106345noreply@blogger.com
