vintage postcards capri

capri in the summer of '79

These photos were taken by Joan and Sid in June of 1979 while they were on the Isle of Capri, Italy for my parents' wedding. Film photography does an excellent job of capturing the Capri light and the colors...As amazing as digital photography is, it just can't quite compare.

Jonathan and I traveled to Capri in August of 2010. You can see some of my own photos of Capri here.

Collections: Vintage Postcards from Europe

While unpacking boxes from Joan's house, I discovered two fat paper sacks filled with vintage postcards from Europe. I'm not sure if Joan collected them on a trip to Europe to see my mother, or if my mother collected them while living in Europe. Either way, the colors are incredible and perfect for a Monday morning when the weather is so gloomy that I can't stage a photo shoot without turning on every light in the house! Capri
