Why do my photos always seem to look 40 years old?
In the field of the art, when a work is well done, in Italian we say that it is "suspended in time"…. it gives you a kind of sensation that it was there even before its realization.
In Architecture is a great quality and denotes the precision and absolute adherence to the rules of art work.
To feel “the time” in an Opera, is necessary the capacity of his author to bring inside his work, the presence of the “emotional rapture” that has not to be confused with the “surprise sensation”: it is not easy!.
Very often ( in the modern age, naturally) , when you feel ONLY “very surprised” in front of a work ( it may be a paint, a photo, an architecture ecc) it means that the opera is not related to the “the historical memory”.
Now…. can you imagine the power of photography in this field !?
This photo, with its colors, its “dynamic” space (the image is clear but you still feel the carousel in motion), the kids, ecc, is well placed … so referring to the your question, I believe, the subject shows something that may be “familiar” to the observer….. a “familiarity” that deals with the historical memory.
I don’t know if I have given the idea.... it is hard for me to explain this kind of concepts in English.
Great photo! … one more in my photo album! :-)
Ciao, :-)

what about clichés and stereotypes?
In the photography, I believe, is the case when the subject (“the theme”) is blocked in the “image”.
The “image” ( that particular scene in which the theme is represented) is made of “usual components” which are not the same thing as “familiar” components; “usual” in this case stands for “ordinary” or “banal”… with already its significations, in which the “detail” does not play any other rule, and if it is present is also made of another banal thing… with no particular signification in the relations between single components of the “image” (there is no “tension” and the observer is not “captured” but only “involved” in the scene).
In that case the subject, if there was one, “disappears”… leaving its place to the” generality” of the scene.... the "theme" is not any more significative.
So often the scene, may even result that hits you, even pleasant, .. but has not the power to recall “the time” as a “category” of its meaning’s structure.
....Goodness gracious!.... great balls of fire! :-))
.. I can't believe I wrote such things! :-))
ciao,
Giambattista

Made it, after third trial now to access the flickerthing.
Indeed, exactly like from the seventies ( damn, so that makes around fourty years now, gotta start looking for stylish coffin models). 
I think it´s because of the colours of the film, and because of the comic style fonds on the tents roofs, in the left side of the picture. ( A fonds I always digged, and which - among other, invented styles, I would decorate my folders with in school, instead of following subjects.)
What a time! Led Zeppelin, Doors, Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Triatma, Melanie, Pink Floyd, Nazareth, and what have you ... and even Beatles records still to be heard with independent connoisseurs.
Even the cheesy trash* of that time comparing like accomplished masterworks to todays over and over covered and sampled assembly plastic.
Omega and Zappa concerts with the calm crowds letting samos ´n stuff circle through the masses like Jesus´damper. Noone a stranger. And the girl´s airy smell and trust.
Those big parties with authencity and vibes ... And despite the sh!t out there whichs yearly bulk yet couldn´t fill three weeks news of todays, there was breakup mood and some alien sphere spinning called "hope".
What sadens me is the mere general thought of how definitly music wise no generation whether of past or future will have ( had) the thrill to live and see such an explosion of marvellous and perfect creation happening.
No second thelike occurance in space.
Exteristic intelligence might find humanity fascinating in manifold ways, admirable however not so much, with exceptions of Pink Floyds or Ilja Repins alikes, I guess.
What was I saying again: Yep, I like how the little girl, third in row from the left, cringes.
And, obviously providing no level or post straightening employed, the horizontal looks like amazingly accurately fetched.

* recalling ( though not for me ) well done cheese pop, I used to find the blond women of Abba extremely attractive.
And then one day met her in Brussels on the street. Totally unexpectedly she looked so enthusiastically at the late teenager me while passing each other; and yours truely gawked back at her like a paralyzed bulldog at a fence hopper. Ever so talented with ruining dream matter.
Many years later I heard she had retract blue and alone into a house in the Swedish forest. What an incomprehensible pity. Think she´s doing alright these days though. Why don´t we have a kissing smiley available?
