iheartfaces -Nostalgia


This week's theme is "Nostalgia". For me, Christmas photos are usually nostalgic. There are so many memories associated with the holidays. And last year, my final project for a photography class I took at the local college was titled "Vintage Christmas". I researched the different Christmas Traditions of each past decades, from the 30's to the 70's. I tried to recreate the home decor and Christmas decorations from those decades. I even found clothes that matched the clothes kids wore during those days. But when I photographed my kids playing games from the 70's, I became very nostalgic. After all, I was raised in the 70's!
So here is my entry for this week's challenge: a photo of Christina and Anthony, playing "Twister".

  1. Nice re-creation. I like your post processing on it too. A vintage feel. Being a product of the 70s myself, I can appreciate a good game of Twister. :)
