Book Description

November 22, 2011
FAVORITE CHILDHOOD PHOTOS RECREATED WITH AMAZINGLY ACCURATE AND HIGHLY AMUSING RESULTS!

Open to any page in Young Me, Now Me and you’ll see a cherished childhood snapshot alongside a brilliant reproduction taken decades later. Nothing is overlooked in these amazing photo pairs—family members have been rounded up in the same spot in the old backyard, special clothes have been sewn to match kiddie outfits, poses and facial expressions are perfectly replicated, and, if needed, spaghetti sauce is smeared from cheek to cheek to imitate the explosive lunchtime of a happy baby. While these efforts at accuracy are impressive and often hilarious, the amazing thing is what people didn’t do—change. No matter how many years passed between the old and new photos, you can still see that same curve of the smile, angle of the face and look in the eyes. Here is the thread connecting years ago to now.
Also included are charming anecdotes that tell the surprising, intriguing and heartwarming back stories of the individuals who re-created these strange and wonderful pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it! January 7, 2012
Format:Paperback
I brought this book home for the holidays and literally every person could not put it down. There is something special about this book that makes everyone want to look through it. I loved seeing everyone's reaction as they flipped through the pages and reminisced about their own childhood. Now we all want to recreate some of our own photos!

When I first saw this site online about a year or so ago, I loved it immediately. I really enjoyed going through all the pictures and knew I had do to one myself. I made one, submitted it to the site and was very flattered when they wrote to me to ask if they could use my pictures in the upcoming "Young Me, Now Me" book.

They sent me a copy in the mail today, and I absolutely LOVED flipping through it. The pictures they chose to use are great, as are the stories those featured wrote to go along with them. This is a book that I'm sure I'll enjoy going through time and time again, and I can't recommend it highly enough...

...and not just because I'm in it, either. ;)

5.0 out of 5 stars Young Me, Now Me December 17, 2011
By edat
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the greatest little book. It's by turns hilarious, poignant, provocative, and amazing. Good to see one of Ze Frank's projects get put into book form -- it's like a slow motion flashmob. It's not so much a book of photos as a document of a performance art happening. Kudos to all involved!
