What are you nostalgic for?
I am nostalgic for 'brotherhood and unity', human rights, multiculturalism, secularism, and last but not least, my friends and family!
Once was a country called Yugoslavia...

Tito. The Red Star.
Me, I would just wish for a decent old-fashioned winter with lots of snow. Seems like eternity the last time, although it cannot be excluded that my memory banks are fading?
Outside my house, some years ago,

What can I say...
I just realized that I cannot find anything particular to feel nostalgic about. With all what is happening right now in the world, I still believe in the future. I'm not sure if I'm too naive or too much of an optimist... ::)

I have very pleasant souvenirs, as a sailor, before the war. In the 80's, for about 4 years, Dubrovnik was my summer vacation base, from where we sailed the beautiful coast and islands of Yugoslavia. As a military, I had to go in May 1992 for the region of Baranja as part of the UN UNPROFOR mission. I returned, late 1999, in the region of Mitrovica, as part of the KFOR UN mission. I haven't returned since....

This is a nostalgic sight for me - the house I grew up in. Captured in IR.
-
Very nicely captured!

Jakov this post keeps haunting me - especially tonight. I was listening to Freddy Mercury, Elvis, and some others and was reminded of the loss of life, not only of people but that of life as we once knew it. Life is but a fleeing moment.
This image was taken 10 years ago. A decade. How life changed.
-
Very nicely captured!
Thank you, Erik :-*

Days when a half million people would march out onto a bridge with fear of nothing, not even of it collapsing under their own weight.

Taken with my first medium format camera, a well used Yashika TLR which I acquired for $0.25
And speaking of days without fear, I fondly remember my old organ donation machine.

Image taken with a Kodak Bantam special which somehow disappeared when I went to college.

Yes!
-
Esla, your photo is beautiful!
I wonder what changed in the 10 years.
Can't we be optimistic and remember the good old days?
Jack, what was the occasion on the bridge? The motor looks really cool! They don't make them like that any longer...
MFloyd knows how beautiful Yugoslavia once was :)
-
Optimistic - yes we should be - and I do think we generally are. I certainly don't live in the past - but sometimes one reflects on the past - and it's not a bad thing necessarily. Because the past is what made us what we are today. One way or another. And not everything about the old days was good - but that's also okey - it's part of our history. It feel (to me) like everything that changed in my life, happened in the past 10 years.
-
Smusesuse you grew up in a villa.
Elsa, is a very wise woman!

Elsa, is a very wise woman!
nah - just pragmatic :)

I always try to be forward looking but I do have fond memories of a youthful ' no fear ' life, driving my only car that was past its best when I bought it in local motor club events at the weekend hoping it would survive well enough to get to work on Monday, the folly of youth, no protection in the form of crash helmet, roll cage etc just ' youthful ' confidence 8)
please excuse no retouching on this self printed shot taken by a friend using my Ilford Sportsman.

what a great photo! that must bring back some serious memories :)

What a mega Mini shot, Jacques 8)

You can. But being optimistic is always related to the future rather than the past, I think.

Jakov, in 1987 the Golden Gate Bridge celebrated its 50 year anniversary and was opened for the public to walk across it. About 800,000 people showed up. This was almost 20 times as many as were expected. The graceful curve of the bridge flattened out under the unexpected load (people standing packed like that weigh more than cars do). Unfortunately with half the people coming from one side and half from the other when they met in the middle neither could go any further and it became a huge jam as you can see from the photo.
-
I just love the racing mini!! :)
-
Great Mini shot! I love the little flying car but also the whole setting with the spectators and all :)
-
Agree, the whole setting is very nice. Lovely shot, Jacques.
-
Thanks everyone, this was probably 1967, I just set the camera to the best of my limited photographic knowledge at the time and handed the camera to a friend, he did a reasonable job considering there was no lever/motorwind etc, his decisive moment ? 8) I am gripping the steering wheel very tightly at this moment !
-
That's such a wonderful shot, Jacques. It just made me smile. :)
Jakov - the opening shot of this thread is very powerful.
-
Love the flying mini
-
I shudder to think of what the laundry bill would have been after the Mini's flight! ;D ;D ;D
Great photo - somehow the scratches, white spots & blobs, and the dusty environment of the rally all add to the image's richness.

Thank you Anirban! Nothing like and olive branch in front of the Yugoslav flag.

Snow is becoming a scarce commodity...
Lovely image :)

Thanks Erik and Jakov !

This car. (Would love to have one.)

I did have one (actually more than one), and only miss the IDEA of the car, not the car itself.

Almaring (abandoned race track) - the defining sound of my youth weekends

The poor little VW cannot use the abandoned race track :'(

1972 bit of nostalgia, my future wife caught me rewinding film in my Leica 3a during a day out in Sherwood forest, Nottingham. Copy of a very old negative !
