<![CDATA[What are “Vintage” photos?]]>I was surprised to learn the word “vintage” can have three different meanings in the world of photos. When purchasing photos on-line, at an art show or flea market this is good information to have so when a seller tells you a photo is vintage – you aren’t getting something entirely different than you expect.
The first meaning (which I never heard of) is most likely common knowledge in the world of print photography. It is the first print a photographer makes immediately after developing a negative. Multiple prints can be made from this negative and are often numbered by the photographer.
The 2nd meaning is when a current photo has been processed to look like an old photo. This can easily be done in photoshop.
The 3rd meaning refers to a photo that has been taken with a non-digital camera and was taken over a generation ago.
