Oh wow. I have a picture of my husband in a miniature golfers outfit with both fingers stuck in his nose. We are so doing this project tomorrow.
Vow ! It really a great idea. Would be so fun to do it..
ohmygoodness!.. so glad you posted this. really lovely concept. would love for me to take photos of my childhood friends . another great post!
Love this idea!! Just recommended it to a photo friend. Would be a really cute idea for a present :)

I love this Joanna! Thanks for sharing
These are amazing! So interesting!!
that is so amazingly cute!! what a wonderful project idea!
such a great post :)
lol! Thanks for the laugh! Hysterical!
That is hilarious!!
Awh, we do this for Mother’s day for my mom (obviously, hence the title of the holiday!)!!
Awh this is so awesome!
these are beyond amazing :) how do you find all these cool photo projects? lol. they make me want to reenact some of my old photos.
aw that’s fabulous! I would love to take part in something like that! what a great idea.
I scanned too fast and didn’t realize that they were the same people. So fun!
phone it in much?
How creative! It’s fun looking back and seeing how you’ve changed yet you’re still a child at heart.
aren’t these so great? i was on her site this morning drooling over them, and i felt so sad when i realized i’d seen all of them and there were no more to see.
ah. to be THAT kind of artist.
Wow I love the pics. What an awesome idea!
Oh, thank you so much for posting this! I had been looking for this site (or another one similar) for months and months. My husband and I recreated a photo of his at our summer cottage for a christmas present this year!
Awesome
this. is. so. cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to recreate the childhood photo and produce a treatment that matches them is simply amazing! i love this!
beyond fantastic!
Such a simple but yet great idea!
such a RAD!!!!! idea. Think I might try that one out- thanks! :D
this is AMAZING!!! just went to her site. so cool
this is awesome and hysterical! last years christmas card my mom had my siblings at 20 something year olds re-enact a christmas card from 1991. It was hysterical and people loved our card!
These are hilarious and so fun!
such an adorable post!!!
♥
Yes, I saw this somewhere on another blog and thought it was such a great idea I need to do the same with a couple of my childhood photos.
incredible! i LOVE this blog dear! it’s so original :-)

I am still looking for something suitable to compare me now with then.
Funny! I’ll try do do some shot with my family
What amazing pictures. I wouldn’t mind recreating a few of my pictures.
Woo ~ I’d love to recreate me as a baby biting my toes… haha. doubt that I can be that flexible now.
Holy cow! What an ambitious endeavor. So well orchestrated and I just can’t stop going back to compare the two on all of the images in the link. Awesome.
Oh, I love this! I’d love to reenact a particular fav pic of mine!
ha! this is hilarious. what a great idea.
I love this idea! I need to look for a photo of me where the outfit is easily re-creatable… are New Kids on the Block tshirts and stirrup leggings still easy to get?
I have to agree with some other comments about Young Me Now Me. This ‘Back to the Future’ project is a total rip off of ZeFrank’s project that started in 2008.
Though I appreciate Irina Werning’s work, there’s no doubting how identical this is.
And it must be added that YMNM is much more endearing as people recreate their photos on their own.
So cute and fun! Love the idea
How fun! I would definitely try this sometime. What a cute gift idea for mother’s or father’s day too!
i wonder if she knows about zefrank? he already had this “young me now me” project going on for quite awhile now. its super hilarious!
what an amazing amazing project! thanks for sharing it.
These are great! The high school where I student taught does this for their yearbook. Graduating seniors are encouraged to submit childhood photos, and then they reenact them as accurately as possible, often with other graduating students. As a teacher, it’s especially fun to see how much a student has grown from when they were in 4th grade to their senior year!
haha this is hillarious, I love it… can’t wait to see the whole thing.. thanks for sharing..
stay cool..
this is so cool…love it!
Oh gosh, these are so adorable! The accuracy of the backgrounds are totally striking as well. What an interesting project (:
See, finds like this are why we like you
Love these, especially the girl in the boots! Will you be contributing a diptych to this adorable series? Speaking of your gifts for guys post, this could make a sweet framed gift :)
I did this with my toddler son recreating a famous shot of my brother standing in the grass wearing only tighty witeys and rain boots holding a flower. So funny and cute!
I’m so going to try this and make it my facebook picture :)
such a fun idea. my mom would love if we (my sisters and i) did this for her as a gift.
This is such a great idea! I’d love to see more…
Okay, these are awesome. Love guy at the top.
haha, so awesome. what a creative idea.
I came across this yesterday and loved it. Brilliant! xoxo.
There is another similar project/blog called “Young Me Now Me,” although the photos there are submitted by readers, as opposed to taken by a professional. Check it out here: http://www.zefrank.com/youngmenowme/
I love “FLOR, MALE, SIL IN 1983 & 2010”. Thanks for sharing :)
This is SO cool!

OMG, this is so neat! So many of these were nearly perfect! Great idea!
