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.
Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s day! In celebration of the day, I thought I would share some old pictures of my beautiful mom from my box of photos. The one on the left is a classic studio picture that will stay forever timeless. The one to the right is one of my mom and […]
I love seeing old photographs, especially ones like these that shows the tradition from your heritage. What I mean is the beautiful Sari that she is wearing. Gorgeous!
Those old images are just gorgeous! How beautiful.
I had seen this article on the Real Simple website a while back and have been meaning to share it. I can relate to it so much. Growing up, my father hired professionals to take pictures of us and they have served to be wonderful memories of those moments in our life. Additionally, he was […]
