A commenter pointed me to a site that has some nice gifs that capture a moment in the way I was talking about a couple of posts ago. I wanted to find a relevant photo to post from the site. Found this one. Why is someone taking a photo of a VHS tape? To remember what they looked like? I don’t know. But it’s an interesting movie. Or is it an image? I guess it’s a moving image. (Thanks to Tegan Lee for turning me onto the site).

You know that old VHS tape? The one that held your favorite movie—or at least half of it? I recall as a kid that some movies were inexplicably on two tapes and I had no younger sibling to go switch it over for me.
The VHS nostalgia movement doesn’t seem to have the same traction as the post-digital music audiotape cult. Nevertheless, should you want to honor the medium, head over to CentennialMerchant’s shop on Etsy and you can get yours made into an external hard drive. Of course, you could just put the VHS box over your current external hard drive and save yourself $134.99. Still, they’re kind of cool.

I’ve posted some of these tape portraits before but I only just realized that it’s a whole series. I’m a little slow. Here is the full collection.

Not since Sex, Lies and Videotape has the VHS been in such good company.
