It’s that time again for this month’s blog carousel which is a collaboration with talented photographers all around the globe. The theme for this month is laughter. I pulled an old favorite from the archives and re-edited it. You can see my previous edit on canvas here. It made me dig through a bit more […]
“It is like the water of the great ocean, a single drop of which contains water from all the countless streams and rivers, or like the wish-granting jewel, which, though only a single jewel, can shower all kinds of treasures upon the wisher.” [The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, No.9, Page 69, col 2, paragraph 8, […]
Apparently, one cannot be a good ball player without chewing gum. Before the game, during the game, after the game and pretty much anytime. All-the-time. So I have been told by my seven year old. As a mom that wants her kid to excel in his chosen sport I comply on occasion. If I don’t […]
Loving the light, Alpana. Beautifully framed!
Such beautiful light and the gum is so fun! Love these!
agreed..light was so magical! I bet when these boys are playing ball in high school these photos will reappear!!!
The light is so magical and I love the interactions captured. Sweet story!
Reminds me of the movie “The Sandlot.” What a great boy moment you’ve captured here!!

These are so beautiful. I love that you still take your camera with you to your “life”. I know I am not so good about that anymore. Kudos.
Wow, what gorgeous light! I love the images that you captured!
Amazing light! Love how it combines with the other natural elements to frame the boys. What a wonderful “eye” to see such magic in an unexpected place!
Oh, the light on these is just magical. Love!
Gorgeous light and sun flare!
What great photographs! The light and how you captured them in it is just a-m-a-z-i-n-g.
these are awesome! They totally cry out “boys of summer” to me!! Fantastic!
I love these….such great memories!
Love the light here, it’s magical!
Such beautiful story-telling, and such gorgeous light!
Such magical light!!! Love the bubble gum!
Oh my I love the little on lookers. So hysterical – gorgeous too!
The lighting is used so well. Nice job.
This post is a creative collaboration with some talented photographers around the US and Canada. The theme for this post is “Monochrome” which describes images in a single color. My inspiration for this post came from my friend Olga’s box of old photos that we browsed through over a cup of tea. Interestingly, they bear […]
Fantastic images and post, Alpana! I have always enjoyed looking through old photographs and now it’s so fun to see my children enjoy the same thing – and also to think of them looking through photographs with their children!
Stunning! I am completely in LOVE with old photographs. I am always sad to see boxes of them at the antique markets – those are someones family and they should have a better home. My family just spend time pouring over some old images during our Easter visit. And I love how you have captured them here…just lovely.
Oh wow, what an awesome collection of old photographs! Perfect for the theme!
Oh how special these photos are! I love that you chose this as your take on the theme! Love seeing the old photos 🙂
[…] next person in our blog carousel is Alpana of Storybox Art, San Francisco’s Family and Kids photographer -Alpana is an amazing artist and I can’t wait to see what she came up with. […]
Oh, this just speaks to me, Alpana. I once found an old suitcase filled with a family’s pictures in Prague. I spent hours pouring over the images, watching children–who were now old–grow up. It was the moment that I realized what a heritage family photos could be!
Absolutely love these photographs! You’re so lucky to have them and I enjoyed reading your post!
Beautiful documentation and capture of this monochromatic theme. There is most certainly something magical about photographs, new or old and this post really explains it well!
Well, you know I love these! I do love sifting through old photos myself.
Beautiful post and love the comments about the digital files. These photographs would have been long lost had they been as fragile as a jpeg. Photographs are a gift to your descendants 🙂
What a wonderful concept and execution. I just love everything about this, Alpana.
Thanks for the comments. I have to thank my friend Olga for letting me borrow her precious old photos and Laurie for co-authoring the article.
Those old photos are still stunning because they are top-quality; a bunch of digital files captured with a cell phone is no substitute!!! I hope this reminds people to make the investment in the future!
those memories are priceless……how lucky we are to be able to preserve moments for those in the future to cherish.
This is such a treasure to own. I love love love to sit and look through old photographs and reminisce and try to put together pieces of history. How thankful I am that my ancestors invested in tangible printed photographs.
I love old photographs, sifting through them, trying to make out the faded writing on the backs… These made me smile. 🙂
Oh Alpana – these are amazing. I love love vintage photographs. A great reminder for me to make sure my Grandmother gives hers to me and a great reminder of why it is important to have a tangible print and not just digital files.
Thanks for the article and sharing these priceless images. Love, love your work!
I loved this post. I so wish I had old family photos like this.
It’s baseball season and we have been enjoying every minute of it. My little guy has been having fun creating rhymes and here is his interpretation of the baseball song… Take me out to the ball game Get me some crackers and honey I think I just saw a bunny It hasn’t been very sunny […]
…is here!! The stars aligned and I got to go out and take some pictures of the little man. A few minutes into the shoot he found a rollie pollie which pretty much defined the vision of our shoot.
The eye contact and expressions you capture are truly priceless, and the colors are incredible. Thanks for sharing!
