I agree, I think people are attracted to the aesthetic that these images bring, a nostalgia that makes them look more than just a picture of their house or whatever. It makes it feel like it has more significance, perhaps. the materials involved in making a photograph are just as important to consider as the subject matter. Photographers like Sally Mann utilize the large format camera and monochrome film to set another layer in the photographs by embracing the aesthetics of the large format cameras.
