I was just turned onto photographer Irina Werning via my favorite blogger Sandra Beijerland of niotillfem. She does a variety of stuff. Her 2010 Back to the Future project, though, is insane. She takes childhood photos and recreates them with you in the same pose, clothes, etc. decades later. Here are a few of my favorites.
The most amazing details don't hit you until after you've looked a few times. On the surface, yeah, it's a cool idea and neat to look at. Then you think about the sheer amount of attention to specifics needed for this. The lighting has to be exactly the same in the two shots. Finding similar props for shots in places long gone (like the curtains and bed post in the third picture) is part of the job.
What an awesome gift idea. Alas, I'm sure its expensive to fly her from Buenos Aires.
