i heart faces week 33 "Nostalgia"

This weeks theme for i heart faces is "Nostalgia". I took this picture of my son after we made homemade ice cream. As a child my family always made ice cream in the summer, and I was always allowed to lick the beater. I still remember the blue ice cream maker with white stripes and red stars. Get taken back with nostalgic photos here.

  11. Hi Mandi, I love your photo, the black and white is so pretty, makes his eyelashes really stand out. I also noticed your blog, it seems like you have a blog just like mine for photography and feedback on photos. But, beautiful shot, well done.

  14. Good one!! I can honestly say this is the first photo that has brought back my own memories, some good - the taste of homemade ice cream, and some bad - the memory of hand-cranking the old style ice cream makers : )

  15. Great entry! It takes me back too! We had an old-fashioned barrel looking ice cream maker. And my mom let us lick the beaters too. Great memory.

  16. I love the tones of icy color in this photo! And I love the memory it invokes. Cranking that ice cream maker by hand was a job done out of love, that's for sure! How I would love to have homemade peach ice cream with my grandmother again.

  17. Homemade ice cream...love it. Haven't done this with the kids yet but it's definitely something I want to try with them...and hopefully it will grow into a memory just as special as yours. BTW, so cute...I love when kids want to lick the spoon, bowl, and anything else they can get their hands (mouths) on...great capture.
