Young Me, Now Me: Identical Photos, Different Decades

Amazing Photo Pairs—One a Cherished Childhood Snapshot, the Other a Spot-On Accurate, Heartwarming, and Often Hilarious Modern Recreation

Everyone has childhood photographs that make them smile, laugh, even tear up. Young Me, Now Me starts with dozens of these wonderful old snapshots then blasts the cute quotient into the stratosphere by showing a second version of the same photo taken decades later by participants who have recreated the location, dress, pose, facial expressions and every other little detail in the original—with eerily accurate and highly amusing results. Features 140 full-color photographs, Young Me, Now Me presents the best of the best photo submissions to the popular blog of the same name along with charming anecdotes and colorful back stories for each. From a balding middle-aged man in short pants, white dress shirt, red tie, sandals, and socks squatting behind a tricycle just as he did 40 years ago to a painstakingly recreated family photo showing six generations in one frame, each image pair in Young Me, Now Me proves--in the most entertaining way possible--that as much as things change, cherished moments remain forever.
