For several years now, a movement where people recreate photos from their childhood has been really popular. The users try to consider every little detail: the location, the clothes, the pose, the facial expressions, and the accessories. In the end, they get such a great result, that they seem to have traveled back into the past.

We at Bright Side think that recreating old photos is a great thing to do with your family. Because when you look at these comparisons, you realize that time passes extremely fast and love and friendship only get stronger.

“It’s all I wanted for my 60th birthday.”

“In the first pic, it’s my dad and daughter in 1996. The second pic is my dad and my granddaughter, yesterday. I love how we recreated this, 23 years later. He was really opposed to taking it until he saw how sweet it turned out.”

“For Father’s Day this year I recreated my favorite picture of my dad. It’s him after he graduated high school in 1980 and me after graduating today.”
