The 2016 Irreverent Vernacular: Holiday Style Exhibition
Deanna Dikeman, Christmas 1970, Sioux City, Iowa
Happy Holidays! Today we take a nostalgic look back at holidays past, evidence that our hope for something magical to happen at this time of year remains. Thank you for sharing some of your photo histories with us, and thank you to Lenscratch Editor Sarah J. Stankey for putting together this post. May your holidays be blessed with love, warmth, comfort, and photography. Don’t forget to take lots of photos (and print them), because today becomes tomorrow before you know it. On behalf of the whole Lenscratch staff, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Season’s Greetings, with so much appreciation for this wonderful community.
