Retronaut

It makes me quite sad when people store all their photos in a memory card. What happened to old-school photo albums? Although I feel sometimes it is incredible what we can achieve through technology, I do miss smelling an old book, or looking at retro pictures of my parents and their bad hair..

My latest discovery is by far one of the greatest of the year. I can proudly say, I will start 2012 with a smile, because now I have Retronaut.
Created by Chris Wilde, a man from Oxfordshire, England. His creation is a massive database of photographs. Anything from replicas, art, celebs, it's there.
I like to think of Retronaut as 'Online's purest form of vintage.'
The website is so well constructed it has a timeline, so you can look for pictures from a specific decade of pretty much, anywhere between 1500s until now.

You don't believe me? Have a look...

As you can see, anything and everything is available. If you're looking to pass the time, stop feeding your sheep on facebook and learn a bit about history, or anything for that matter!

Kudos Retronaut!
