15 Pics That Prove Time Is Nothing More Than Just an Illusion

The word “photography” was first used in the 1830s and it actually means “to draw with light.” Lucky for us, hundreds of years later, the invention of the first camera made it possible to relive our ancestors’ and our past memories just by taking one good look at a picture. Turning the pages in our family photo albums can make us go through all the feelings, nostalgia — about how good the old times were, happiness — about being together, and love — when seeing the faces of the most beloved people in our lives.

Bright Side found the following pictures that people dusted off and shared with us and we can’t believe how, for some of them, it seems like time really stood still.

When was the last time you looked through your family albums? Are you the type of person that keeps a classic photo album or do you prefer using only your phone for storing pics?
