Dave Healey is a Los Angeles photographer who's shot the old-fashioned way - that is to say, using film - for over forty years. Now, thanks to his daughter, Megan (who I'm proud to call a friend), his work can be found in the blogosphere, on the aptly-titled Tumblr My Dad Takes Pictures. Below are a few of my favorites, which feature Megan and her twin sister, Danielle, when they were little.
A bit from Megan, as written on the site: "My dad has been taking pictures since the sixties, but for the past twenty years, he's worked in a darkroom and many of his beautiful images are hidden in boxes without an audience. I came home for the holidays and started scanning." So very happy she did.
I love these snapshots. The screen faces are priceless!
ReplyDeletelove!! thanks for sharing..
ReplyDeleteThese are phenomenal! What a special collection of memories... their little faces in the screen is just too much.
ReplyDeleteOne of your best posts yet!! These pictures are breathtaking & incredibly sweet.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The one with the baby strollers is my favorite :)
ReplyDeleteAs a film enthusiast, these make me SO happy-- especially the little noses pressed against the screen door. :)
ReplyDeleteThe screen noses are the best! :)
ReplyDeletethese invoke in me a feeling and longing for my childhood years. beautiful.
ReplyDeleteoh goodness. this is precious.
ReplyDeleteNeat site. I'm glad Megan was able to preserve her dad's photos.
ReplyDeleteI love the sense of nostalgia these photos evoke!
ReplyDeleteLove love love! The screen shot and the one climbing out of the sandbox are my fave. Megan is probably the sweetest thing ever. There is nothing better than a daughter showing love for her father. And these photos are so inspiring to a wanna-be photographer like me! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this! :)
Those are some really great images, I am glad that they have an audience! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt makes you think of all the beautiful photography that exists off of the internet. My grandpa has boxes of rolls of film from his travels to New Zealand and Australia and other places.
ReplyDeleteCole, so true!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a beautiful thing to do... love the photos too.

ReplyDeleteThese are very amazing works, there's really no words, he captures so much!
