i have been spending a lot of time on flickr looking through family photos for research for a costume project that i'm working on, but i decided when i finish i am going to keep looking at old family photos and maybe even collecting them! i love how hand painted black and white photos look, plus the people in the photos always have amazing hair and clothes, no matter who they are. i want to live in a different era.
here are some recent acquisitions:
