Probably, photography has never achieved a success like that of recent years, especially thanks to social media networks that promote sharing selfies and other photographs.

However, just because something is widely done does not mean that it is also well done! Even as technology progresses and makes photos more and more realistic with high-resolution images, we all agree that once photographs were far more beautiful.

Maybe it was those colors that were a little faded that left room for the imagination or maybe the fact that the first photo had to the good one because very often you did not have the chance to take a second photo, nor obviously, could you preview a photo.

All this contributed in some way to obtaining very spontaneous and interesting photographs --- much more so than today's constructed, touched up, and ostentatious captured images.

If you also agree that the photos, and the people, of previous generations, had undoubtedly more style, here is a photo gallery that you will be pleased to see.
