A guy photoshopped himself into pictures of him as a kid and it’s oddly affecting
We’ve seen plenty of photos where siblings recreate pictures of themselves that were taken when they were kids.
But Conor Nickerson went one better, by photoshopping his adult self into pictures of him as a kid and not only is it very clever, it’s oddly affecting too. Have a look for yourself.

Here’s what he said about them.
“While looking through some old family photos, I wondered what it would it look like if tried to photoshop myself today into them. I gathered all the old hats and t-shirts that I could find and did my best to put myself into childhood moments which, aside from these photos, remain only a distant memory.”
“It involved a lot of blurring, sharpening, and noise to try to get it to look like an older photo. Editing the pictures and looking at them so closely for so long takes a bit away from the shock value, but seeing the final images all together definitely is a bit strange! I feel like me and little me would have gotten along pretty alright.”
What a very clever – and lovely – idea. Here’s a bunch more.
