Photo Series Idea

Sometimes we walk through paths we already know.  And this brings me the idea of grouping photos together.

Photo series are a nice showcase for the  pictures. Grouping pictures together is a lot of fun. You can tell a story, or you can group pictures that have something in common: colors, patters, silhouettes, images of the same place on different seasons, self-portraits through the time if you are a photogenic type. Photo series gives consistency to your images and add value to them. They are no longer something to forget into your hard-disk, but something to admire often.

Here I have tried to picture the boys on the same place, same position. I didn't have the original picture with me but I tried to use the same spots. It is clear the lens and the angle are not quite the same.

For the post-processing, I have put both pictures side-by-side and tried to give them the same color treatment.

The older pictures have been taken on film and the negatives scanned. The new pictures are digital.

To make this series was a lot of fun! But it was also quite confronting ... time is flying!
