Missed it by that much

Missed it by that much

1986. Self portrait. Grapevine, Texas. Cathy MacDonald.

Me 

2010. Re-created portrait. St. Paul, MN. Aidan Zielske.

Aidan 

So my spatial framing abilities aren't what they used to be.

How I love filling the time during summer vacation

    These are beautiful and amazing photos!! So cool how much she looks like you. What kind of lighting did you use for the photos? Aidan must have loved seeing this with your picture!!

    That is SO cool! I wish my children and I were as cool as you and your children. Maybe you should run a class at BPS – “How to be as cool as the Zielske’s”.

    My first thought on seeing the first photo was, “Wow, look how much Cathy looked like Aidan.” Ha!

    You two look amazingly alike in these two photos. What fun.

    I think you might get a kick out of this-Houston is eagerly waiting for a flower called the corpse plant (so called because of the awful smell that is emitted when the flower blooms) to bloom. It’s a fight foot tall flower and it is at the science museum here in town. The museum is now staying open 24 hours a day to ensure that everyone who wants a chance to see the flower gets the chance. Once it blooms, it only blooms for a day. Here’s a link to the webcam. Check it on when you get a chance!

    Whoops, the previous entry should say “five foot tall” instead of “fight foot tall”. That’s what I get for posting before I’ve had my morning caffeine.

    Ha! Sian, I don’t know. The class might only have one tiny handout that simply reads: be really neurotic. : )

    Fabulous!
    Before I read the captioning I thought both photos had the same subject – Aidan!
    And is it just me, or does this remind anyone else of the Robert Palmer video “Addicted To Love”?
    Very cool!

    Wow – great photos. You two look so much alike. You are lucky she poses so much for you. My kids need to go to posing 101 school. But some of the pictures I get are still priceless and I love those.

    You gotta love the fun of long summer days:) I recently while sipping lemonade (OK coffee) did photoshop magic converting myself into a jersey shore girl:)

    You girls look like twins. Love it!

    It must be so fun having your daughter look so much like you and be up for recreating some old photos. My daughter looks nothing like me. Not even a little. *sigh*

    OMG that child and you look so much alike! I’d actually thought a while back how you should recreate a photo with her from an old photo of you!!

    I did something similiar last year with my youngest, who is my mini me : ).
