18 People Who Dusted off Old Photos and Couldn’t Resist the Urge to Recreate Them

Many of us love to bring back our most emotional memories, like when we first went to school or learned to ride a bike. Photos have that magic of transporting us to those moments, and they become more endearing when we compare them with today, as we can see how much we have grown in various aspects.

At Now I’ve Seen Everything we have gathered evidence of the passage of time. We believe that perhaps its protagonists loved to see their “past selves.”

1. “The family car and me, 20 years apart”

2. “Me and my son both at 9 months. 35 years apart”

3. “My parents, 1970 vs 2022”

4. “My mother and I on our wedding days, 26 years apart.”

5. “In 1989 I loved a perm and a scrunchie or three, and I recently recreated the style for an ’80s night in Edinburgh.”

6. “My Dad in his early twenties and me in my late teens”

7. “Younger sister and I graduating eight years apart. First time post.”

8. “Prom and wedding day, 16 years apart! Beaker has been with me through milestones, heartaches, celebrations, and challenges. She’s 19 now and still my favorite girl ❤”

14. “I looked through my mom’s photo album to find that she took this picture at Schönbrunn Palace during a college trip (1991). I remembered that I took the same picture at the same place during a high school field trip (2017).”

15. Father and son. They look like two drops of water
