Sounds like your photo would be a perfect fit! Unfortunately, for all photography challenges the photo must be new.
Isn't it crazy how quickly it goes from "what in the world do I do for this" to "how do I narrow down my choices"?? I had the same experience and it was my challenge! LOL! I shot three examples and had about a dozen more I wanted to shoot as well
Wow that was a challenge, but I loved it. I took out all the cameras that I still have, including Grandpa's very old FED (over 50 years old, and still in working order)
The "then" photo which will be included in your "now" scene can be from any time in the past... but the photo for the challenge (which your "then" photo is a part of) must be new since this is a photography challenge. Does that help clear things up?
At first I was confused; then I realized I have just thing thing with one of my daughter's baby toys. Thanks for the clever prompt!
@tkradtke I'm Very Confused By This Challenge Too...But I Had An Idea...I Have An Old 60's Photo Of A Lay's Chip Bag...& Staring Right At Me...Right Now...Is A Brand New Lay's Red Wavy Bag Of Unopened Chips...Could This Idea Work For This Challenge?...[Better Figure This Out First...Those Lay's Wavy Are Calling My Name]...So I Would Have To Take The Old Lay's Photo & Place It Next To The New Lays Bag...& Take A Photo Of Them Together?...Would That Be Correct?...Thanks Rhonda...
*** edited to fulfill the requirements of the challenge, my photo wasn't quite right what was asked...Thanks Traci @tkradtke !!! January 2: Then and Now Photography Challenge - so my new photo is from today, and the other one is from 2002. I wish I could make it better, but my idea was to show the differences on the beach, garden, street....I think the main difference you can notice is that there insn't sand in front of my home anymore, due to the increase on the ocean levels...
After I had breakfast I went back through the whole thread and re read instructions, and realized it is a photography challenge... but today photo does not necessarily relate to old photos I might use.. I think some of the posted pages have been created with older images totally. Will have to think some more on the direction I want to go... As an example ...One of the things I have considered is an image on 9 month old me sitting on the front porch of my parents home. I have images of it taken a couple of years ago and thought that might combine into a fun page with doorways overlapping etc, as shown in some examples.. I did look at the links you posted... Thanks...
I thought the lamb chop against baby Jess looked so much bigger in the photo lol so I wanted to take a picture with present Jess holding the photo and "Lammy" and I died from cuteness..I'm typing this from heaven It's so tiny now
There are a few and I'm working through notifying those participants. The main photo (that includes the old photo) for this challenge must be new to qualify. You could always take or have someone take a photo of you holding that photo... a then and now of you!
I had to laugh when I saw this challenge for MOC Day 2 because my son and I just happened to be discussing my desire to take this exact photo the day before the challenge was posted. Perfect timing, Tracie! My son is holding an 18-year-old scrapbook layout that hangs in my upstairs hallway.
Took this today. She's holding a pic of when she was in an orphanage waiting for us. Now a part of our family for almost 10 years!
