Culture Story: These old pictures prove photography is like a time machine

For this post, I was able to gather 13 lovely vintage photos that depict how lovely people looked in the old times. Let's take a look at some of the happiest moments from the distant past.

Wait a sec, have you ever tried to go back in time by checking some of your parents' old photos? Look, I recently had the opportunity of going through my family album and I couldn't stop admiring how gorgeous my folks looked. The hairstyle, the fashion trends, even the poses seemed to look way better than I expected!

My 62 year old son was going through some albums a week or two ago and came across photos of his dad and my high school senior studio photos! I guess he'd never seen them before! He looked at mine and said " wow, mom, you were some babe! " He had me walking on air there for a minute! 😂💛

😍I love all black and white old photos regardless what it is. Very interesting and entertaining and it made me smile looking the simplicity and real genuine beauty. No filter!!👍🏼

I love them all but #4 is fabulous! 60th wedding anniversary and she's still sporting a petticoat! Even then I thought those were a thing of the past! Women sure knew how to glam it up in the 40s & 50s!
