Snapshots from the 80’s

I’m sure that everyone’s happiest memories from childhood are the summer vacations. My parents always managed to pull off a trip to Europe. Mark would wake us up at the crack of dawn with a glass of chocolate milk and a sugary doughnut, and we’d speed down the motorway to the first ferry to France. We went to Greece on year, Spain a few years in a row and France a bunch, with a few epic drives across Europe in the middle.

I’d love it if I could still get prints this size with rounded corners and the same color shift, then you could throw pictures at people and not worry about taking out an eye! I’ve always wondered whether that color shift has happened over time or if it’s just poor printing back in the day. My guess is that it’s a bit of both. Either way I want all my snapshots to have this feel, then I could post them on flickr and have loads of friends and awesome comments!

Where were we here mum? What was I so upset about? Could you imagine the panic if you watched Mae paddle out to see with your grandchildren?
