Atlanta Photographer Michael Parvin Creates Nostalgic Photographs Of ‘Objects Once Familiar’

Think back to your grandparents or great-grandparents home. Did they have a rotary phone in their living room? How about a rickety metal hand mixer in the kitchen?

These “Objects that were once familiar” have been captured by Atlanta photographer Michael Parvin. His black-and-white photographs have been compiled into a book that analyzes the overlooked beauties from past memories. He took the photographs of antiques that were passed down to him, his friends and family members.

From the 300 black-and-white photographs that he took, he narrowed down the book to only 40 photographs. Most of the photographs were shot digitally, but his film background helped him understand light and contrast in order to create the grayscale memories.
