When you see a 5, 10 or 20 (or whatever) years old photo of yours, do you think it's funny with the long hair, beard/mustache, odd 70/80 hair cut, funny cloth style, or whatever.
yesterday I saw an old photo of me from my teens and i though I looked funny with the long hair :)
how time changes fast, back then I thought it was cool lol.

Yes, definitely. I'm like, "Whoa! I look like THAT?". I was a fat kid back then and whenever I see a picture of me my friends and I usually laugh but I also get the usual compliment saying that, wow, I can't believe how much weight you've lost, that kind of thing so looking a old pictures also makes me feel very accomplished in a petty kind of way. LOL.

yes i do, strange how things change so fast with time, what we though good, cool or great now is just funny or stupid.. But sometimes I feel sad when I see my photos when i was younger and I wonder how will I look 10 years from now, aging is something we all hate and try to avoid but it must happen and evidence is in those old photos .

Hi! Yes definitely hahaha. I always do. Oh yes, it's like...can I be any less cooler? Only to find years later that you were not so cool. Everytime I look at old pictures, I always say "Oh my, is that me?", "Did I actually have the guts to look like this?" Maybe a few years from now, I will get those album of recent pictures and look back. It is always fun to reminisce isn't it?
Thanks for posting this! Have a great day.

Photographs are great for that and to remind us of people that are no longer with us. We have a photo of my husband as a baby in our bedroom (as neither of his parents are with us anymore) but my childhood ones are still at my mum's house. You have reminded me that I should show our children for a good laugh. Thank you.

I love looking at old photographs! They tease you with what it felt like during those times. Like having a big afro hair or being too squeaky clean or how life was so hard back then. It's like, they can't have possibly happened. I just saw one of my parents' old photos and boy, their hair did look.........diffrent... How did that become popular in their times??

I actually look back on my photos and feel sad, I have still got a photo of me as a four year old which I cherish, I have blond hair now, sadly my hair is now dark brown and started to go grey, a few gray strands. I have changed so much and it's weird seeing me as this fat teenager with slick back hair compared to what I am now, some changes are good, some I can live with others I sigh over.

Oh yes! Everytime I look at my old photos, it makes me laugh and wonder how long have I been changed with my physical looks? I could really differentiate how odd I looked before than now. Well, I also have photos that I can say, "cool! I like this pic! I'm beautiful." lol. :) Thanks to all cameras who can take us back to our old memories. :)

I look at old photos all the time, and my reactions are extremely varied. Sometimes I just laugh at how silly I look, sometimes I feel truly embarrassed for myself (I've have some very interesting haircuts in my life), and sometimes I still wish I looked as cute as I did when I was a little kid.
I also sometimes get sad and reminiscent when I look at old photos, because I think of the friends I used to have that I don't talk to anymore, of my grandmother that passed away last summer, and of the way my family used to be. But sometimes pictures will make me smile or laugh, because I'll remember a really good time that I had once...

Yup ;) It's good to reminisce sometimes.. reminds you of the old you, the younger you.. only to see your hair before was so messy, you don't even know how to use make up yet.. you still look funny ;) and oh, you're still thin, haha ;) I love looking at the pics of my friends before.. my childhood days.. my birthday parties.. the hideousness of my clothes.. and just everything ;) Photos are one of my most treasured memories.

ahahaaah.. yes, Thank's for reminding me about this. I usually collect photos, as someone who loves taking lots and lots of it, I can't remember how many of pictures I have since I was young, as yes, I usually giggle and laugh really loud whenever I see how I look like 10 or 20 yrs ago and I can't believe it. There are pictures of your friends, and your childhood sweetheart and some people who you do not even remember anymore.. so tendecy is you recall your past and begin to smile again.
