With more than 72,000 likes on Facebook and more than 20,000 hits daily Taylor Jones one year old blog 'Dear Photograph' has become an internet sensation. Inspired by pure coincidence when some old photographs were pulled out at his mother's house. One particular photograph of his brother as a child blowing out birthday candles was of particular interest as his brother was sat directly in front of him in the same position.
Taylor began taking images of old photographs positioned in their old setting. He posted a few online and his site quickly went viral. Since the site's success he has begun to plan an accompanying book with Harper Collins. The blog comes in an age where nostalgia and vintageness is becoming ever more popular as we march into an increasingly digital epoch. iPhone apps such as the incredibly popular Instamatic and the relatively new disposable camera app, inspired by the retro hipster culture, have turned almost everybodys' once grainy mobile phone pictures into eye catching digital memories.
Each day Taylor uploads one photograph submitted from viewers around the world, each one capturing a strong sense of longing, sadness, nostalgia and often regret. Check out the full collection of photos over at the blog . . .
