I'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.

Remember the LP jacket for The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan? How about Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue? Or maybe the cover of all covers Abbey Road by The Beatles? What’s the most obvious thing that gets overlooked in all these classic covers? The person behind the camera.
Fortunately, there’s a woman preserving this amazing art form. Autumn de Wilde has quietly been taking some of the most striking and memorable photos of musicians in the past decade or so. Her clientele includes the likes of Elliott Smith, The Decemberists, The White Stripes, Jenny Lewis, Devandra Banhart, Built to Spill, Spoon, Death Cab For Cutie and Beck – in all cases her work is unmistakable. Take a second to follow the jump and admire some of these awesome sleeves and visit her website if you get a chance.
