Re: Vintage & Gadgets | Danielle Lowy | 6/27/12 3:43 AM | Hi Sam What an interesting topic for discussion. I do a few craft fairs with my Rubbish Revamped recycled crafts and often see the word vintage seemingly misused on new items. Look forward to meeting you on the day. Danielle |
Re: Vintage & Gadgets | Samantha Mills | 7/4/12 5:00 AM | Yes Danielle, my thoughts exactly as I come from a readymade background with craft & design. Looking to define the meaning of vintage is hard when trying to write about it. As I always thought it was a period of time, some have narrowed that time down, and some have brought it into retro? when does it end and begin? Is vintage a classic? Or a fine wine? No clear definition. Look forward to your interaction on the subject! Sam |
Re: Vintage & Gadgets | Restor8 Design Solutions | 7/12/12 11:55 AM | Hi just thought I would add a little something here... Vintage is a big part of my life as it takes a place in my full working career. Being a professional photograph restorer I see the whole spectrum I spend my time taking vintage photographs from a damaged or faded state and bring the magic back so the photo will last for several more generations to come. As lets be honest a photograph is a moment in time frozen. Without photographs and film we would not have a clue how are fore fathers lived. So I think i am a vital part in keeping vintage alive. my best vintage invention has to be the camera obscura which led to the invention of the camera. |
