VHS and Vinyl: Why People Love Retro Media
Photographer Eilon Paz, whose Dust & Grooves project documents all things vinyl, explains that records shape not just how music sounds but how you experience it: “You have to take it out, you have to put it on the turntable, you have to put the needle on — these are all actions that demand attention from you.” He theorizes that while CDs threatened to make records obsolete, the shift to MP3s has spawned nostalgia for physical objects.
