Photographer Uses Her Dad’s Old Slides To Create A Nostalgic Photo Series (31 Pics)
Catherine Panebianco is an artist whose work longs for a sense of place, catches hold of memories, and chases the spirits of those we currently love, and those that continue to surround us from our past. Her photography art explores how we connect with others, with our past, and with ourselves.
The said artist is an award-winning US-based professional photographer. Recently, she started working on a new photo series where she took her father's old slides and did some 'then and now' comparisons of places, hoping to create a touching visual tribute full of memories and nostalgia.
The old photos her father took were full of Panebianco's family photos, but there was a much deeper reason as to why the photographer felt so attached to the slides themselves to make photo recreations, as she even gave an explanation on her website. "No Memory is Ever Alone is a visual conversation between me and my dad. Every Christmas, he used to bring out a box of slides that he photographed in his late teens and early 20s and made us view those vintage photos on an old projector on our living room wall telling the same stories every year. It was a consistent memory from a childhood where we moved a lot and I never felt like I had a steady 'place' to live and create memories."
Given that, we invite you to scroll down and take a look at some of the beautiful pictures the photographer decided to share with the world.

I miss the big multigenerational family get-togethers. Personally, I’d do a pot luck or have it at least mostly catered. I have too many memories of my mother being totally frazzled, and never getting to enjoy the day, when she was hostess and cook. Even if someone tried to help her when they got there, she was pretty much toast before they arrived anyway. I pitched in when I finally got old enough (and continued to help while I was still living at home), but even then it still took her a long time to relax and drop the habit of trying to do every single thing herself. Then she discovered caterers. Much better after that.

Awww. Daddy trying to get Baby to look at the camera and smile. Mommy telling him—-under her breath and without moving her lips—-that he’s just wasting his time.

Oh no! They removed all those lovely vines! Now it’s just a plain nondescript box.

It’s like the slides are a lens that lets you see the ghosts of the past lingering in a place

Kinda boring. Maybe means something to people that actually know/knew the subjects of the photos but to me they're just randomers in random places. And 31 photos is kinda a lot.
