Photo series with adults replicating their childhood portraits

Friday, February 25, 2011

Irina Werning's Back to the Future is a fascinating photo project in which Werning has her subjects recreate snapshot portraits taken of them when they were much younger. You would think everybody would look really silly doing the stuff they did when they were little kids (and indeed, some of them do) but it's surprising how often recreating the poses, clothes and attitudes of their childhood photos can make people look rather chic. The woman in this photo looks like she's in an American Apparel ad. (Note that some photos are mildly NSFW.)

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
