Summer Friends – Vintage Male Photography

25/12/2014 By David McFarlane Leave a Comment

For those who didn’t spot this article, or who have missed the wonderful video slide shows produced by Wayne Brighton.
 

It seems that everyone loves vintage photography, including us!  This is the latest video by Wayne Brighton who has put together some pretty incredible videos of vintage guys on his YouTube channel and we love every single one of them.  We aren’t sure where he gets the images as they seem to be actual photos, but the videos are very well done and we hope that he continues to make them!

In the age of digital photography it is easy to forget that people actually took and developed pictures.  We used to love taking pictures and having them developed because you really never know how something is going to turn out.  Now a days it is so easy to snap and delete or snap and post or snap and send that images, especially selfies are everywhere.  For us photos that like the ones featured in this video are more “real” for lack of a better word.  These are photos that were shot and kept by someone, they capture a moment in time that has past and offer glimpses of a world that was different.  Even the images themselves are different now with filters and everything else giving a distorted reality.
Perhaps this is just us being nostalgic or looking too much into things and someone will feel the same way about the images we are taking now in 50 years but things just seem simpler in these images which may or may not be the case.  When people used to take photos it was typically for themselves or immediate family and friends whereas now a days thousands may instantly see an image.  That immediate exposure means you have to present yourself in a certain way to meet an image or expectation for social media but these images seem to lack that pretense which is nice.  Also it is fun to see how trends change – from body types to hairstyles and fashion.
We love taking a look back in time!
Enjoy!
