The Nostalgia Scientists We Happen To Be.

Unknown
Do we ever realize that in capturing a moment in its rawest form, we are sending messages for the future? And we click without even realizing that we are nostalgia scientists creating a time capsule. Pictures, for the future. Pictures from a distant memory to another. A memory from an old wrinkled dress, a wretched staircase, a confused kid near a motorbike. And the fresh prints have to grow old with you to be meaningful. You add more experiences and memories to your photo until finally you find them amidst the frizzy, crumpled papers of an old book, underneath the shelves of an ancient wardrobe, from the secret albums your grandma held close. Sad, but relieved to be found. And honestly, the excitement of discovering an old photo is something so special. Their blotched ink speaks, their torn corners and vintage look sings.

And that's when I realized some things come alive when they are almost invisible.
