I think there's a certain element of the natural aging of a photo, like when a photo fades on a shelf. I get a little nostalgic when I see photos that are a bit washed out because my great grandmother had photos of she and her husband that had been on the same shelf for years and had been faded by the sun coming through a window. For some reason I equate some of these filters with the look of those photos.
