Nostalgia : n.1. A bittersweet longing for things, persons, or situations of the past

I am really obssessed with nostalgia, I cant stop myself buying anything that reminds me of either my grandmas house or where I lived when I was a little girl. I love anything that evokes that lost feeling. I think the last show I visited by Kirsty E Smith also rekindled my love of anything kitsch. These two videos seem to be really relevant to me right now, I think the first has a great nostalgic feeling, the second just reminds how fantastic simplicity can be sometimes, I am just starting to do a bit of stop motion animation and It really can be best to stick to basics with good camera shots.

  1. Thanks for your recent visit to my post on Kitsch. I'm actually in the process of revisiting this issue for a book I want to write and I think your questions about nostalgia are very interesting especially vis a vis the postmodern faux nostalgia that is so popular these days.
