RE: 50 shades of embarrassment(mirrors).
I had a great mosaic of pieces of mirror on my youngest's wall. It certainly made the mini room much bigger and she was super happy with it. Nothing ever fell down, no one ever got hurt but unfortunately I couldn't take it with me when I moved.
I wish you had a piece of it to show us atleast:)
I don't, not even a photo I think. I try to remember if I took photos and if printed them. It was before 2000. 🤔
Strange how easily one forgets all the things done
Before 2000, it is in your memory then.
There was no trend of clicking pictures of fancy object that time. It's only now that we do it.
I started actively taking photos at the age of 8 years old. I received my first photo camera.
Here it is: https://oldcam.ccvshop.nl/Agfamatic-50-collector-in-original-packaging
Black and white photos I took. I still have some of them branded in my memory plus the location, occasion and how I felt.
I had a large collection of camera's with different results also old ones. I had my walls filled with large photo prints during the time I still had two children. I clised the part of photography and did take photos but as my children left home I gave them what was theirs.
I also started making dias because photos became too expensive. There are thousands of them. I gave them plus photoalbums and the diaries to the eldest.
All my children have their own photo albums and the diaries I wrote for them.
I do notice a huge difference between how dear it is to them to treasure memories and confirm what things look like, which for sure has to do with the time they are raised.
In the digitaal world it's push push push and it doesn't matter if 999 out of 1000 photos are terrible. You can take new ones or Photoshop or just post what is bad because fast and multitask without focusing is what is asked (although the average digi phone/camera is slow).
Wow you were such a photographer, i didn't know you are an enthusiast photographer as well.
Taking and storing your children's photos were the best thing you had done.
Watching those photos when they are adults now, by your side and asking you to give the context of every picture is the most most beautiful way to connect with the past.
We also have many phopto albums of our childhood. My dp was also clicked with photo camera by my mother's brother. He has this thing to collect photos.
Most of the time, it was him clicking our photos. It continued til 2009 and then he introduced us to his new digital camera.
The era of digital camera was short,of only 4-5 years. Then came mobiles, endless clicks.
But that one phopho click with old camera had better pictures and results. Or we are all beautiful in our childhood or maybe we were carefree at that time how we look.
Now it's terrible, you can never assure anyone that their pictures are beautiful.
Thank you @saintkelvin17💜
