The old is new again
[Thanks to Drew.]
Irina Werning has photographed people like they were in photos many years ago.
We've seen similar projects, but I have never seen this attention to detail! Impressive. That is very difficult to do.
Yes! AMAZING! The thing that I was really intrigued by, as well, were the clothes, shoes, and props (pen; sunglasses, etc.) Man! "Obsessive" is RIGHT! It's downright SCARY how closely they resemble their former selves! Unless they're photo-shopped in some way!

They haven't got it quite right here either, and the effect is creepy and gross.
What an interesting idea. However, I have to agree with author of the previous quote that it is a bit creepy.
Here's my best "knock off" shot:

there is a similar (earlier ?) project by French Artist Clarisse d’Arcimoles.
See her series "un-possible-retour" at

Thanks, those are cool.
