Memory Lane

When I moved to New York, I gave my parents about five boxes to store. Those boxes included irreplaceable things that I didn’t feel comfortable shipping to myself, including my collection of photo albums from the pre-digital camera days. I wouldn’t look at those old photos too often when I had them, but thinking about something happening to the only physical copies of these memories gave me so much anxiety! So this Christmas, while I was visiting my parents, I managed to scan about 300 old photos.

It’s so funny to see how I’ve changed throughout the years…

 

After much scanning, cropping, editing, and uploading, I have a pretty serious collection of nostalgia on Flickr and I’m excited to share some with you and especially the people who are in them! There’s quite a variety, including pictures of family…

Early high school…

Later in high school…

Bands playing live…

Bands my friends and I brought with us to high school…

Bands we’d collect photos with…

Needless to say, music has been a huge part of my life since I was about 15…

I wasn’t always so cool though.

But deep down, I’m still that dorky little girl with the big pink glasses.

I’m happy to have lived all the places I’ve lived and met all the people I’ve known. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be who I am today.

If you’re feeling reflective, I hope you’ll take a minute to find yourself in this album and take your own trip down memory lane!
