Ever take a photograph with a photograph in it? Collector Robert E. Jackson has dipped into his outstanding archive to share 30 examples of just that. “There are so many good photos I have in this subject,” he tells us. If this album is any guide, we’d love to see more.     “I loved you like a man loves a woman he never touches, only writes to, keeps little photographs of.” ― Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell     Well, there’s a girl that lives up the block Back in school, she could turn all the boy’s heads Sometimes on a Friday I’ll stop by and have a few drinks After she put her kids to bed – Bruce Springsteen, Glory Days     “All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.” ― Susan Sontag, On Photography     Hold it, flash, bang, wallop, what a picture What a picture, what a photograph Poor old soul, blimey what a joke Hat blown off in a cloud of smoke Clap hands, stamp your feet Banging on the big bass drum What a picture, what a picture Um-tiddly-um-pum-um-pum-pum Stick it in your family album – Flash, Bang, Wallop from Half a Sixpence         The time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other’s welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life.” ― Derek Walcott, Love After Love     “We photograph things in order to drive them out of our minds. My stories are a way of shutting my eyes.” ― Franz Kafka     Scattered pictures Of the smiles we left behind Smiles we gave to one another For the way we were – Barbra Streisand, The Way We Were     We’ve lots more from Robert E. Jackson on the site. And you can follow him here for more great stuff. The post 30 Hauntingly Beautiful Vintage Photographs of People With Vintage Photographs appeared first on Flashbak.
