'I was so much younger then
I'm older than that now'
You must both have enormous attics

@grouser: (from Lilly) My stuff is in my basement!!
António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal
For you is just old (very old) magazines. For some, well, memories.
16 Nov 2009 5:56pm
@António Pires: Yes, and, each day, the memories go 24 hours further back ! (Ronnie)

Wry sense of humor, this. A very good concept shot.

Following on from Grouser's comments, Paul Simon added a verse to"The Boxer", part of which says "I am older than I once was, and younger than I'll be, but that's not unusual". But I don't agree with his comments about the attics, I think you have outside warehouses for all this stuff"! But a super photo in any event.

@dobbino: That's a great line from Paul Simon there . . inescapably true, Rob !
Steven from Chicagoland, United States
This brings back memories of the afternoons I would get lost in my grandmother's attic looking at old magazines like this. Thanks for sharing!

very fun - I love to look at the advertisements and see how much things cost "way back when".......

So glad I'm not the only one with a stack by the bed -- perhaps not quite of this vintage, but ....

You've created a time machine here. Cool!

Since I'm from 1965, old mag myself, I don't understand what you mean - at all ! ;)))
Cool work, once again ~

Use to love reading old magazines left in our summerhouse. I wonder if they still there...
Very nice composition and display.

@pernilla: (from Lilly) You should go look! Perhaps they are still there!
John Maslowski from Dallas, PA, United States
Wow, like stepping back in time. Amazing the condition of these magazines. Excellent arrangement, great shot that is so very interesting and captivating.

I know that, and I'm glad to be able to finally catch up with the news!

@MadScientist: . . whole world at our fingertips ! (Ronnie)
Earnest from Oklahoma, United States
I really miss Life Magazine... I remember once that our family got a magazine that had some artistic nudes in it but when I was allowed to look, they had all been cut out.... what a disappointment! The inclusion of the electronic device puzzles me.
17 Nov 2009 2:13am
@Earnest: Sorry about the nudes, Earnest . . life can be cruel at times . . hee hee. The little devise there is a Canon 110ED camera from the early-1970's and it sits atop a teak finish Bang & Olufsen tuner-amp from . . 1965 ! (Ronnie)
Michael from United Kingdom
An instantaneous flashback to my teenage years, how simple it all looks. A wonderful collection Ronnie.
17 Nov 2009 2:20am
@Michael: (from Lilly) The Life and the Journal are part of my collection! I have a lot of great newspapers and magazines from the 60's. Thanks! It was just coincidence that Ronnie and I both had stuff from 1965!
Denise from Duncannon, United States
Looking at old Life magazines is something all children shoudl have the opportunity to do, open a different view of life for them.

Lunamania from Oakland, United States
I love the radio mixed in with the magazines. And as always, the composition is so clever. Love this site.

akarui from Kagoshima, Japan
Nice arrangement of old stuff and magazines. Is it a camera on the top of the radio? may be not.
17 Nov 2009 4:24am
@akarui: Yes, a camera : the only Canon in my collection - a 110ED which took those little cartridges of film. (Ronnie)
Zing from Hamilton, New Zealand
Nice old magazines. Things look so different back then.

Nice little collection. Magazine covers are always interesting to look at, particularly the old ones...

Good evening, Ronnie,
I see that you represent collected works. Sometimes it is good to put an and on the other they take away too much space. But when it memories of certain things, they could also be useful. Regards Christel

sylvia cole from United States
I'm thinking it might just be the subject matter that has you so behind Ronnie...sure wouldn't tempt me to open 'em up and spend some time....Lilly's on the other hand...

Cricket-TammyWarren from United States
I would like to add all of these to my collection of magazines. I'm not so sure why it is so hard to let go of these things.
Anytime you want to trade, I have plenty!
Once again, a great combination.

Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
Looks like you've both got a bit of catching up to do, then! Well done!

Anita from West Nottingham, United States
You are right about the war being called by a different name.
I'm not a big news reader. My husband, who is, marks articles he things I might like. I've gotten as far as 3 years behind. Now, I just throw out the ones more than 6 months old.

This collection really takes me back. I always enjoyed LIFE magazine. I almost forgot about those small cameras, just pop in a cartridge and snap away, then wait several days to see the photos.
There is one way to solve collecting things, move to Florida. No basements, very little storage space, and anything you put in the attic melts.
So happy to see you have kept the old days alive with your collections.

they call The War by a different name back in '65
We've always been at war with Eastasia.
