Weekly Photo Challenge: Nostalgic

What makes me nostalgic? The theme for the Weekly Photo Challenge is Nostalgic.

1959 Canadian Club

I have a friend with a bottle of 1959 CC … The thought of that bottle, my friend, and poetry is nostalgic …
Like Words in a Book … by Brian Hughes . . . I discovered Brian Hughes a couple of months ago and enjoy his work. This link will take you to his WordPress site. Check him out, maybe while sipping CC.

Chinatown

. . . image edited with a vintage filter . . .
An alley in Chinatown, San Francisco. The original photo (of me) which looks nothing like the image above, was taken by Sally Chisom, my sister. Check out her WordPress site, Memory Catcher. Earlier this year, we spent the day in Chinatown taking photos. I love spending time with my sister. We live three hours away from each other and just don’t get together enough.
I edited with my iPodTouch5 using, layer filter with MasterFX, depth of field edit with LiveDOF, frame and retrolux filter with Snapseed.

my sister & me

… a meaningful family photograph . . . an adorable photo of my sister and me . . .

Santo Nino Fiesta, San Francisco with my brother next to me in the car

“throwback” image of a thing or activity you once loved . . . not sure what this means . . .
but this is an authentic nostalgic photo . . . no filters, it’s a scanned photo of an original photo that I’m going to “throwback” into my mix of nostalgia. Photo of a parade on the streets of San Francisco during the Santo Nino de Cebu Fiesta, a week celebration, January 12 through 20 1978, as declared by the 37th Mayor of San Francisco, George Moscone (November 24, 1929 – November 27, 1978).

In the photo: my brother, Rudolfo Carlito Famarin, and I led the parade with the Santo Niño image on top of the car. Well, the car was actually a convertible. So the Santo Niño was on a corrosa straddled across the top of the seats.

Hope you have enjoyed this week’s compilation.
