Features: The birth of photography has provided a vivid and stable reference for people to understand history. Compared to written records, photographs are often more direct and certain. With the click of a camera shutter, a scene of history is frozen just like this. Old Photos attempts to make changes in this regard, placing photographs at the center of observation, letting the photographs speak for themselves. Sometimes, the messages and meanings contained in photographs go far beyond what a few simple historical conclusions can encompass. Only by acknowledging and listening to the words of photographs can history become vivid and lively. Old Photos specializes in publishing interesting old photographs and related articles, observing the survival and development of humans over the past hundred and more years. The photographs have a certain level of clarity, with one or several introducing an event, a person, a scene, or a fashion. The articles are written around the photographs, with no restrictions on genre, including biographies, essays, sketches, and research.
In Old Photos, much of the reflection on relatives and friends is condensed by the authors, and as editors, we invest the same emotions. From each old photograph, we experience what truth, goodness, and beauty truly mean.
