Lately I have been reflecting on how powerful old photos can become when they are carefully brought back to life. Not because of any specific image, but because of the strange feeling they create. You scan an old photo, adjust a few things, and suddenly it feels like the person is right there, alive and present.
It makes you pause. This is not just an old picture. This is memory coming back with full force.
I found a short article that expresses this feeling really well. It talks about how youth in vintage photos can feel unexpectedly modern and how that changes the way we look at the past.
Curious if anyone else here has felt something similar while working with old family pictures or film.
