Why are old family photos so fun to look at? Old family photos give us permission to take a timeout from our current lives to remember, reminisce, honor, and learn from the past -- the people and places that have helped forge our journey along the way and made us who are today. You could say old family photos are timeless, but maybe more appropriately they're timefull -- full of emotion and sentimental remembrance, a tribute to that moment in time.
