Let’s get nostalgic!
Monday July 30, 2007
For some time now I’ve been after my Mom to find two boxes of photos I had as a pre-teen. I somehow lost them in the mix of moving and am pretty damn convinced they’re hidden away in my parents’ attic.
So in ‘93 all I wanted for Christmas was a Polaroid Captiva camera. It was awesome. I got it (obviously) and it worked for a good 3 years. During that time I had oodles of photos all stored in 2 Oreo Cookie Christmas Tins.
What’s weird is how both these things are somewhat “vintage” now. :rejected: I’m so old… And I still don’t have my photos. I visit my parents in December and really hope to find them then.
I do have this one on me though…
—————————-
Found this too. A photo my Mom took in 1978 of a birdbath she created/painted. It’s a mouse floating down with a leaf.
—————————-
Also found this photo I took while in Köln, Germany (‘00) and noticed the Agfa store and nearly died. OH PAST JEN, I MUST FORCE YOU TO GO INTO THE STORE AND HORDE FILM FOR YOUR FUTURE OBSESSION!!! GAAAH
—————————-
Lastly, another ‘00 photo. A Polaroid that Mike took of us right before Christmas. We had been dating for about a month…

-
I hope you’re able to find the photos when you visit. ^_______^
The photos you do have are great and are of such awesome memories.
-
I love old pictures. These ones are so pretty! I especially love the one of you and Mike. That is so sweet. I sometimes want to ditch my digital and move onto the old school cameras. Developing film and all seems so classy.
-
I also love vintage photos. They just have so much character to them and they seem more candid then photos we take now. I purchased a Holga camera off of ebay to hopefully recreate that vintage, authentic look in some of my photos!
-
uhm that camera is AWESOME.
i love old photos. it’s so weird. i’ll buy old pictures from antique stores because i think they look so cool. just random pictures of random people. lol.
your pictures are always so cool. ^_^
-
they need to make polaroids more cheaper these days :T. To oexpensive.
-
yeah photos really bring back your memory. haha! sadly I never had my own camera. :( even now I’m using Alex’ digicam. traurig aber wahr.
-
Those photos look nostalgic~ I love it when we dig through our old stuff and find something we didn’t know that was there before ^^
-
Oh that’s so cool. It’s funny how I hardly have hard prints of my photos anymore. It’s all digital and it’s not as great as physically holding and seeing it off the screen. It’s more real that me. I try to print a few good ones, but ink is so expensive that I limit myself to like one or two print outs.
-
Awwww that picture of you two kissing is really cute! I look retarded in my kissing photos. Maybe because I shouldn’t be the one taking them while i’m kissing… ahahahaha.
-
Wow, apparently you’ve been into photography for a long~ time. And you are good at it too! Ah, nostalgic memories are always nice :) I hope you’ll find those old photos! Maybe I should take more photos now since I’ll probably end up with no records of memory once I get older XD
-
WOOT! Polaroid! I want one…just to have a million pics everywhere :3
Vintage is still in apparently… :3
-
Haha. Polaroids rocked my socks cause they printed out right away. Those pictures are awesome and the one of you and Mike is super sweet. I aww’d.
The birdbath is amazing! o: Your mom has some pretty awesome skill.
We still have our polaroid and sometimes we still use it but not often.
-
woah, those are so cool!! :D they look nastalgic but really precious :) i might need to get a polaroid too… lol :D (are there underwater ones?!)
-
Aww @ the you and Mike one. That one’s so cute.
The birdbath is so pretty. My mother used to make stuff like that in the 70’s/80’s too. She doesn’t do is so much anymore which is a shame.
And don’t say vintage – you’re making me feel old!!!
-
that last polaroid of you and mike is really cute~
I’ve always wanted a polaroid camera….but I never got one~ maybe someday I’ll get one ^___^
-
that’s so neat! the bird bath is really cute…
-
i’ve always wanted a polaroid .. but i think i should find a job first and get one .. ;0
simply just love the pictures you have up -
Hey you, long time no chat or write!!! Yep this is Jamie from unchained-harmony.net. I’m not sure if I told you that I was getting a new domain or not, but if not I got one!! Anyways, I really like nay, love those photos they’re so awesome! I hope that you’ll be able your other photos as a teen. That’d be awesome if you did. Well; I’m getting tired so that means it’s almost time for bed. Take care.
-
shake it like a Polaroid picture! Hey I’m new. :)
-
Oh, look at that redish-ness! I have some photos that look like that too, but they’re not taken by me *feels young* hehe… But I didn’t have a polaroid camera, I dearly wanted one too but never got one… :( I hope you find that Oreo box, if they’re still in there, so you can get all those photos back again. Losing photos is awful, but finding them when you didn’t know you had them feels like Christmas :D
-
Awww I love looking through photos! They really evoke different emotions. Nostalgia, regret, sadness.. *sigh*
-
Wow, a real polaroid camera! I used to want one too, but I guess I should be happy with my digital camera. Although, now that photos don’t come out in hard copies, I tend to lose a lot of pictures that I take (i.e. hard drive crashes and such). Poo.
-
wow a polaroid camera!i always wanted one! i think it gives all that pictures that vintage look. LOVELY!
the birdbath is so pretty!
-
Ah, the memories….I luv looking back at old pictures, or even watching old shows I used to like. Memories always make me either want to cry or laugh. It feels great, yeah?

I always loved my parent’s old polaroid photos. I don’t know if it’s the white borders or what, but they just have the coolest cameras.
