Combining the past and the present

While I realize my last post was about a website that I had newly discovered, I figured that's going to be my theme this week.  I know, I don't have "theme weeks" but there's a first/last time for everything and I think this will be my first/last time for "theme week".  Let's just go with it for fun.  I've never submitted anything to this site but I enjoy seeing what other people think of to send in.  It's called Dear Photograph.  Have you heard of it?  I actually wrote this post on Sunday and then Walgreens had it in their Photo ad yesterday, which is too funny.


Here's how the site describes it on their page - "Take a picture of a picture from the past in the present".  People take an old photo, go now to the same place where it was taken, and hold it up and take a picture of it.  It's combining the old with the new.  Then, the people who send in their pictures put a little note with it that starts, "Dear Photograph, ..."  Some are funny, some are sad, some are sweet, etc., but they're all pretty special.


I decided to try some of my own "Dear Photographs" and it's not as easy as it seems - or maybe it is easy and I just have a depth perception problem...or a picture-taking problem.  If it's sunny, I can't see my camera screen very well so lining up things like sidewalks and windows is kind of difficult but I gave it my best shot...(get it, camera...shot?)  OK nevermind.

Dear Photograph, Picnics never get old.

Dear Photograph, Tell these three that when they blink, those school days will be over.

Dear Photograph, Thanks for reminding me that summer isn't so bad. ☼ 

Dear Photograph, When you're little, the size of the pool doesn't matter, just enjoy the water.  And keep in touch with your cousins.

Dear Photograph, What I wouldn't give to have my driveway be an artist's dream again. ♥

I'm always on the lookout for fun new websites, so please share if you have some that you think I should go to and take a gander, and I'll share if I find anything neat or new.
