Happy Friday friends. Recently, I have been getting back to my old hobbies…which consists of mostly DIY's & scrapbooking. Scrapbooking meant sorting through the thousands of photos on my computer to print hard copies.
Smart phones & social media nowadays make sharing your photos with friends & family all too simple. One swipe & my entire vacation may be uploaded to Facebook. One snapshot, a filter of my choice, some hashtags & voila! Mostly #selfies, #ootd, #sunsets, the #handbag joining me for #happyhour, or whatever #sunnies I may be sporting in my #fllkeys life & its on Instagram for the world to see. The digital friends we carry in our pockets make printing photos seem a thing of the past. (Minus a handful to hang around the house.) I personally no longer feel that desire to run to Costco to turn my roll of film in to see what photos are awaiting my viewing- simply because I don't have to. But, I've realized that sometimes its nice to browse through hard copies in a REAL photo album rather than just on my organized albums in iPhoto.
I found these mixed in amongst those I sorted through. I love looking at photos because they transport you back to that time & place. This particular time, I was walking to the post office in Poland to pick up a package & mail some postcards. I remember stopping to admire the colorful wall art. I hope it brightens your day like it did mine, & happy #flashbackfriday.
