    Young Me/Now Me

    posted by Chris on April 17, 2008 4:54 PM in Geek Culture

    youngmenowme.jpgI've always envied people who had the tenacity to complete photo journaling projects. Whether taking a picture of yourself every day for a year, or documenting a family history, photo projects are fascinating studies in human mortality. Linked from Boing Boing today, I found YOUNGME - NOWME on a site called Color Wars, where people take old childhood photos and recreate them with their newer, older bodies. I especially enjoy the ones who put a lot of effort in getting the clothing/setting correct, such as this chap who finally was able to live his dream of having the world's greatest mustache.

    I'm tempted to do a few of my own.

    This is such a strange coincidence. Just today I was looking at some photos of me when I was younger and thinking of doing something like this. Thanks Chris!
