The title of this image is Vintage (Not) Photo of 17 Inverness Crs. 

Vintage or not, is the question? I snapped this phone shot of my family home recently. My Dad's friend visited on the way home from the University of Western Australia Cars and Coffee run. The old 1935 Hot Rod definitely dates the photos, it easily could be mistaken for a reflection back in time. It made me think back to my childhood and wonder what it would have been like growing up back in the day of no technology. It's hard to believe no mobile phones, television, ipads. I imagine it was more wholesome and family orientated and envisage family picnics, long drives to the beach, open air theatre, eating treats like hand churned ice cream, an era where they actually talked to each other and made eye contact. Somehow that doesn't seem so bad.
