Vintage love

Long time ago I fell in love with vintage photos. I love the color from old analog pictures. The older the better.
I used to be a polaroid kid. Always carrying the camera with me. On holidays, I always made a special holiday diary " A picture a day " style. But then my parents stopped buying films and I could not afford them from my pocket money :-( so I switched to the families olympus XA2 ( often called the 'Poor Man's LC-A") which I loved to bits. I used it to take pictures of my play mobil games, later the camera came with me to every school camp and is responsible for all the hilarious teenage pictures of me.

But then came digital photography and and as much as I love good old photography and films, for me there is no turning "back". I just love the instant element. I own a Holga and a Diana camera but I always forget to develop the films. Once developed I have to scan them so I can process ie. blog them or add them to my database.

So I'm really having fun with all the cool vintage photography programs out there. Especially the ones for the i-phone. They turn my crapy phone cam to a cool tool. I know it's not the real thing but hey, it's so much fun.

My family recently bought an Epson V750 pro photo scan and I started to scan the old pictures ( there are thousands ) this will keep me buys for some time.

If you like old pictures have a look at flicker commons.

In the following posts I would like to present my favorite vintage apps.
