I have a big box of old photos stashed away that never quite got sorted. Do you hoard old photos? The digital camera has saved a planet of trees and space but isn't nearly as interesting as rummaging through all those yellowed old snaps you'd almost forgotten, don't you think? The above photograph was taken during the mid-eighties of a 4 x 4 demo. The JCB digger is clearing a track up the hill ready for the action. Do you like the shadow of the Man-in-Charge - cool isn't he!
I'm connecting with Shadow Shot Sunday on this one.
There she blows.
Happy SSS
yes that first shadow shot is great...
ReplyDeleteGreat shadow shots.
ReplyDeleteI love going through old photos, and these two are great. Love the man supervising.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
It seems like the digital photos, once on the computer, are forgotten.
ReplyDeleteBecause of digital and the amount of pictures you can take today, photos are not as precious as once before. The one good thing though is that most people's computers are set up to play a slide show of all the pictures stored when you turn it on. I do enjoy that.
ReplyDeleteGreat shadow shots for the day! Love the first one! All of my photos are on my computer, but I can and do look at some of them every day and they are so easily accessible! Hope your weekend is going well! Enjoy!

Digital photos are great because you can take loads and see them straight away, but I do enjoy going through old photos.
ReplyDeleteNothing like the "real thing" is there,you can pass them around...good pics.
ReplyDeleteDigital is wonderful, as long as you can remember where they are and what's what.
ReplyDeleteAs you can tell from my blog, I'm not much of a photographer, I never seem to have my camera with me! What photos I do have were taken by others and I too keep them in photo boxes, but I must say I do love looking through them all every once and awhile. Come to think of it I don't have many photos of my family around my home in picture frames... and no photos in my wallet...what's wrong we me?
ReplyDeleteLove the shadow shots Molly.
Funny you should say that, I came across a box ful in the loft yesterday. More Blog fodder I expect!
ReplyDeleteI am curious to know why you have a photo of a little exercise cart on your header. Are you thinking of taking up driving Molly? :-D
I still shoot on film for work. My darkroom has gathered a bit of dust though.
ReplyDeleteOooo, lovely toxic chemicals...
PS I see Tom has entered into the SSS spirit today lol.
First thing I thought when I saw this pic...great shadow shot!
ReplyDeleteNo, the digital camera doesn't provide the entertainment that going through old photos provides. Mostly for me, it is old terrible shots....ha! I love being able to delete on my camera now and save only what I want. I need to do a major throw-out, but alas, it is too captivating to see all the memories that go into the old photo boxes.
Great shadow shot, what ever will we do with all those boxes and boxes of prints?
ReplyDeleteCan't ever imagine throwing them away, can you?
the digital era has changed things hasn't it!! love the old photos, fun shadows.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comments.
ReplyDeleteKath - I think I'm a bit long in the tooth for that one :0) O/H took the header photo when he went to a recent farm sale and it just caught my eye. I've no idea who actually bought it
Hi Molly - I am bringing up the rear again - just catching up - that shadow shot is as you say pretty cool - I have lots of old pics in boxes - I am trying to get them into some sort of order - I am waiting for a rainy day! xx
ReplyDeletenice header...a real thing ....and a real photo...nice
ReplyDeleteAbout allergy if wrong please..teach me.....

Molly I just love your sense of humor!!! you crack me up. I so wish we were neighbors and could just holler over the fence at one another. and I DO love the shadow shot and agree with you about yellowed old photos in boxes...
ReplyDeletehappy week to you Molly.
Simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLate visiting from Shadow Shot Sunday, please come and see some shadows at my page. Have a great week ahead!
Yes, I do keep old photos and I love to put them in pretty boxes. They are lined up on top of my wardrobe. Sad huh!
ReplyDeleteDigital really changed photography but its nice to have the 'real' thing too.
Great shadow shot Molly!
