The family album

“…quando si dice album di famiglia“. This is a movie quote, a zillion paperdollars to guess which movie I'm talking about. The family album is a classic, a sort of evergreen for every family, from the dazed aunt up against Christmas gifts, to the little cousin plastic expression identical in all the pictures (very spontaneous!). Never fail even embarrassing moments in which immortalized with the cake drip on your knees. What about red-eye from Cullen family?

Thanks to digital cameras, that cost less, now is possible totally unaware all bad pictures and stay in pose forever till shooted like a model. You also have you friends (generally women) or family members or… that make you pass the time to me a photo? I bet that background an open door… No wait for my hair! No waiting for the epaulette! No waiting for the planets are not aligned correctly… Fuck! The way to make photographs is completely changed to such an extent that does not seem more natural. Don't get me wrong, don't mean to imply that none meke great photo , or that technology has made our lives, I say instead that sometimes spontaneity there back in favor of forced beauty. Little human, very photoshoped.

What is the real sense of getting a family album? Many of those who know do not have. In their own homes, I mean, because if you search in the homes of parents for sure you can find shelves of album. Unfortunately, I put myself in too long list of people who have abandoned the album for the automatic presentation (and timed) computer. Sure to write it so… that sadness. I yearn for some afternoon passed to remember the birthdays in elementary school or dance essays with some friend who has survived at the event to remember.

However there is someone who loves the family album as to make it a beautiful collection just like the figurines. If it comes to celebrities, taken in little moments from star life, the photo collection gains emotional powers and reveal some special moments. The tumblr is awesome people hanging out togheter and it is really the family album, an extended family of tv and movie stars entwined in strange friendships. Fashion, art, cinema and litterature… that will have to be Groucho Marx and Alice Cooper? Mistery. I must say that my favorites are black and white photos vintage flavour.

I'm sorry but I can't ignore the last picture with Dr. Sheldon Cooper!!

P.S. If you have no idea who are people in pictures pass the mouse on them.
