Open to any page in Young Me, Now Me and you’ll see a cherished childhood snapshot alongside a brilliant reproduction taken decades later. Nothing is overlooked in these amazing photo pairs—family members have been rounded up in the same spot in the old backyard, special clothes have been sewn to match kiddie outfits, poses and facial expressions are perfectly replicated, and, if needed, spaghetti sauce is smeared from cheek to cheek to imitate the explosive lunchtime of a happy baby. While these efforts at accuracy are impressive and often hilarious, the amazing thing is what people didn’t do—change. No matter how many years passed between the old and new photos, you can still see that same curve of the smile, angle of the face and look in the eyes. Here is the thread connecting years ago to now.
Also included are charming anecdotes that tell the surprising, intriguing and heartwarming back stories of the individuals who re-created these strange and wonderful pictures.
My Take on the Book
Have you ever looked at a photo of yourself either alone or with someone else as a child and then later in life another photo was taken in the same location when you were older? Did you notice the similarities in facial expressions or maybe even clothing if you were going to stage the photograph?
This book is filled with photographs of people . It shows the person as a child and then later in life. The author tried to make sure the details of the first photo were similar to the later photo. If you look closely you will see the similarities in the two photos.
You can change your hair, your body, your clothes and location, but you really cannot alter the facial changes
.
It was really entertaining to see what the author had done with his subjects.
As you see the photos and read the individual stories, you will gain insight into the families at the time of the original photo. It may give you a chance to recreate some of your favorite family photos with siblings , parents, and other relatives.
