once in a while when I do not have anything to do, i do really go through those old photos and I must tell you, as you said, they do give us a mixed emotions right away. We smile with tears coming out of our eyes. That is the beauty of those. May be we would have forgotten those moments in our busy lives, but then, never the less , these photos bring back those old memories which are burried alive deep inside us. It makes us want to go back to those times, when we were all happy and satisfied for the moment making us forget everything that we were doing. My collection of school memories reflects my life and when I see it now, i can see for myself how much I have changed as a person and grown up in a matured manner. it will remind me of myself, who used to be so care free, all happy and smiling full of innocence inside and the most important thing, no worries of life and future. Those are the days that we crave for when we have grown up and we have nothing else left other than the memories that we have collected in the form of photos.

I like looking at old photographs too. It makes me remember those bitter-sweet moments from the past and the story that unfolded before those photographs. It good to reminisce those moments and reflect on how much things have changed since then. This way, I'm also reminded if I keep seeking for progress and if decisions I've made were for the better. As the saying goes, a picture paints a thousand words. :)

Old photos and diaries keep our old memories. Some of them are happy, and others are sad, but still they can keep our experience of old days. I wrote diaries for my daughter since she was born, I also took her many photos and kept them in the computer, now my daughter is 8 years old, and she likes to read the diaries I wrote about her. She reads them again and again and laughed when she reads something funny about her. And she always looks at her photos when she was a baby.I know the diaries and photos are good memory for her. Have a nice weeekend!

same feelings as yours and include pains too in my heart every time i take a look of our old pictures. especially pictures when I was a kid. This is one of my favorite hobbies.i scanned almost them and put in my facebook photos/album to have a copy of them and too keep that. I also bought a expensive album to preserve them.It reflects me about my past.

So each people's experiences are different.Therefore would be different feelings.I also collect the pictures in an album.That can help these in order and good for you.Just be happy,friend.

I feel emotional to see the old photos. Especially when I see my son's photos when he was a baby. He was so cute. Sometimes I will blame myself being serious to him when I look at these photos. How come I can blame such an angel? But as you know, when children behave well, they are angels. On the contrary, it is a headache.

Just the other day my youngest son check his old album and we have a great time reminiscing those good old days. I keep old photos and I updated new albums. There are memories that photos can tell the whole detail.

We have mixed emotions every time we look at old photographs. And along with it are similar memories during the time the photographs were taken. Then you would think of wanting to turn back time so that you'd be enjoying those times once again.......

Yeah photos can cause a great deal of emotion in us when we see them. My husband and I really aren't into taking a lot of pictures but I'm working on it. I'm trying to get us to take more pictures. I think it would be nice to have a lot of pictures for us to look back on as well as for our daughter. Time really does go by so fast. It's important for us to have pictures of those special moments.

I love old photos. I love taking pictures of "now" moments so I can remember those moments later in the "future" When I look at those old photos, I can remember a lot about what was going on during the time the photo was taken. Old photos really help me to remember. I love making scrap books with my old photos. I think I should get my scrap booking supplies out and start working on my photos again. It's a great hobby, and it helps me to remember yesterday and the times the kids were all little.

I love looking at old photos, too! I love watching myself in unfashionable, out-of-date clothes, haha! :D But joke aside, it's really interesting to see my stages of life and how I developed :).

Hehe cheers! :) Old photographs are genuine! Where effects and edits doesn't exist much yet. And caught emotions are so classic where duck face, pouting lips and other modern gestures doesn't exist yet :) And old photos are cherished because we're not going to look exactly as before :) Happy mylotting!
