Nowadays, we can't even imagine our lives without photos. Many of us tend to capture each detail of our lives, from special occasions to the most ordinary moments. Cameras are used by all age groups, starting from little children who are curious about all the gadgets around them, through youth, adults, and finally, elderly people who want to keep up with technology and have the will to learn new things.

However, it wasn't always this easy in the past, and initially, cameras were available only to a very narrow group of people. Nevertheless, we can't deny that this was a wonderful invention, providing us with limited sources of information that offer a glimpse into how life looked in the past. The Facebook page 'Old Photos' curates a great collection of fascinating photographs, and as it states: "This page is to remember history by sharing historic photos and videos from around the world."

Clean white clothes without the nth generation of washing powder with the whiter-than-white formula. A miracle. ;)

Old Photos Report

Bored Panda reached out to Krzysztof Kucharczyk, a professional photographer, and an old photos enthusiast. Apart from his professional work, Krzysztof is also an admin of an Instagram account dedicated to historical images. We wanted to gather more information about his passion and details about curating his profile. First, we asked what initially drew him to the world of old photography. Kucharczyk shared with us: “Old photos are magical. Old photographs are windows to the old world. I've always wondered about their history. I started collecting old photos to save their history from oblivion. Discovering the story of each photo is a journey into the unknown, a journey to another world, a journey to a parallel world.”

We were wondering what criteria Krzysztof uses to determine the value and significance of a vintage photograph. He said: “I am not guided by technical values. I appreciate photos that keep me lingering longer. I love photos that tell a story. You find a photo, you look at it, and you know you have to save it.”

Kucharczyk shared with us his favorite discovery and the story behind the vintage photograph: “Each photo has an amazing story. Not all stories are known. There is a photo that brought me back to my hometown. The photo was given to the grandson by his grandma. The grandson sold the photo, and it was found 450 km from home. This elderly woman was very surprised when I showed her this picture. She was very young in the photo, and I wouldn't recognize her. She confirmed it was her portrait. She gave this picture as a gift to her grandson. It had been sold, and I found it in a marketplace, 450 km from this woman's place of residence.”

Lastly, we were wondering what lessons or inspirations the photographer draws from the past that influenced his work as a photographer in the present. Krzysztof told us: “Understatements. I like when everything is not clear. I like to create blurred, natural images without Photoshop. I appreciate analog photography and its softness and depth. All of this is missing from digital photography.”

I read somewhere that since most survivors were women and children their eyewitness account (how the ship sank etc)was not considered believable. It wasn't until the wreckage was discovered that their accounts were accepted as real.

It took from when cars were first driven to about 1975 for gas to get to 69¢, say about 70 or so years. It took from 1975 to now for gas to get to over $5, so 48 years. And it's hit over $5 before now, too. Now tell me about how there's not runaway inflation and greed.

They must have been just baking, especially her, in the summer heat. It’s the reason women had “the vapors” and fainted so much. Tightly laced into their corsets nd wearing like 20 lbs of clothing covering them up to the neck, down to the floor, and to their wrists. No chance to get cool at all, until you could sit in a bathtub full of cool water. Soooo happy we can wear more temperature appropriate clothing now.

Not bricks, but granite cobblestones. Many years later, when NYC repaved the streets, millions of these went to masonry depots and now line countless driveways and were used to build street curbs in suburban areas.

This looks like the draft horse team my step father had. He had tractors in 1970 but still had one pair of draft horses that were trained to plow and things. As a boy him and his father cleared their fields with draft horses and dynamite (for the stumps) and did their farming work with draft horses.

See that glass Texaco sign on top of the gas pump? I used to have one of those. Unfortunately it got broke in a move. This might be the smallest gas station I have ever seen.
