One of the things about photography that has always fascinated me is the capture of the image in a certain fraction of time, the immortalization of a thing or a person thru the lens.

Certainly one of the biggest goals of photography is to register images for posterity, for eternity, that is a very romantic way to see it perhaps, but I’m sure that is the best way to have a taste of the past in the living present.

 I use to buy old photographies, even old portraits of people that I don’t know and probably many of these people are probably not in this living life anymore, I just love old photos that remind me everyday that we are here just for a fraction of time.

Thru photography I’ve learned to observe, not just changes, evolution or sometimes even abandonment but the then and now situation that makes me wonder about the uncertain future and makes me realize that we as human beings are not eternal  there was life before we were conceived there will be life after we leave, so this is our time, our Click for posterity, say cheese =)

There are things that change with time…thankfully some things never change.

Enjoy these old postcards!! (most taken in the in the first half of the 1900’s)
