When I tried to learn why people were gloomy in old photos, I didn’t realize the truth would strike me so heavily.
The most of the old photos were taken in the 19th century. They show us gray faces of depressed people. Like in this wedding photo!
So I tried to find the answer to the question why people in old photos never smiled. Here is what I discovered.
First, it was very difficult to capture a smile with that time cameras. You probably didn’t know, but old technologies didn’t allow taking pictures quickly. The process of photo shooting could last for hours. It was very hard to smile for such a long time.
But the next fact I discovered about old pictures made me tremble with fear! Pretty often people were dead in photos! The Postmortem photography was very popular that time, as these pictures were considered a passage to immortality.
Well, all I can say right now is: “Thank God people forgot about this frightening tradition!”
