As Time Goes By
Irina Werning, an Argentine photographer, takes pictures of friends re-enacting photos from their youth and then depicts them side-by-side. I find them fascinating, in part because we all age in slow-motion, in part because the resemblances between the two images are like the comparisons between a portrait and self-portrait made on this site. I even get the same eerie feeling that there is and is not a resemblance. Of course, to say that the two faces in Irina’s comparisons do not resemble each other, has to be wrong. Yet some of the differences are far greater than those between a portrait and self-portrait. Anyway, thought you might like them. You'll find a dozen more at her site: Back to the Future.
