1986. Self portrait. Grapevine, Texas. Cathy MacDonald.
2010. Re-created portrait. St. Paul, MN. Aidan Zielske.
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!!
Sian says
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”.
😉
Jane Toft says
So, does Dan ever wonder where his genes went?! Great idea for a Summer project. x
Mary Kay says
My first thought on seeing the first photo was, “Wow, look how much Cathy looked like Aidan.” Ha!
Laurie says
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.
cathy says
Ha! Sian, I don’t know. The class might only have one tiny handout that simply reads: be really neurotic. : )
cathy says
I’ve heard of this plant! So cool!

Lee says
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!
;o)

Sarah says
Um, yeah…. that apple did NOT fall far from the tree. No denying she’s yours… you are both beautiful!
cathy says
oh, shes ALL over having pics taken now. Totally. Makes it easy.
RobynS says
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!
Erika says
Poor Dan. ha ha
Love these pics!
JoLynn says
Very cool pics.
Shana Dumblond says
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*
{vicki} says
how cool are you two
amy j. says
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 : ).

KateTeague says
WOW! How fun is that? She looks so much like you! I am saving some of my old 1989 self portraits to do this with my kiddo in a few years!!! FUN!
tena says

Amazing, she’s your twin! You’re so artistic Cathy!
