Years pass, but memories are not forgotten. We devised photography as a technique to freeze time in order to preserve those moments. However, while time cannot be resurrected, memories may be recreated.
It may be a hilarious moment frozen in time, or you were sleeping in an unusual posture as a child and your mother snapped a snapshot. Or, if you were like most 80’s teenagers, you were just sitting in the grass with your love, these men welcomed it all.
It’s also astonishing how many of the people in these photos are still wearing the same clothes, and how committed my friend is!
Of course, we gathered a large number of them and brought them to you in the hopes of brightening your day. Why not be inspired to design your own?
