I'd try that but I don't wanna jinx myself.

I want a shirt like that.

i have to try that with my family.

This is awesome!!

i just read the comments, it that the same guy or four generations?

i guess either would work.
10/04/2012 08:34:31 PM · #7
I'm thinking 4 generations.
10/04/2012 08:36:56 PM · #8
It's not the first time I've seen the concept, but it's still awesome. You'd have to get the ball rolling early.

It's 4 generations. Why? Because the photo of the kid would look very different if it was of the oldest person in the photo.

What a great idea for a portrait of a single man at four different times in his life. — with Heather Shugart Burton.

That comment neither confirms nor denies that this is a photo of a single man. Actually I think that Cory is right. Pics I have of my father as a toddler show him with his hair in ringlets and wearing different - vastly different - clothing.

4 generations for sure. Ears don't change shape. Compare the ears on the 2 largest faces.

Just look at the frame. Were faux distressed frames common 60+ years ago? And would you have 3 of the exact same frame in your house each purchased 20 years apart.

I'd love to do this with my memmy, mom, me, and my daughter. Maybe that'll be a project for Christmas.

i too thought initially it was 4 generations, but the comment had me wondering.
10/04/2012 10:09:33 PM · #16
That's a fantastic idea.

Pity everyone prior to me is dead.

Looks like me as though the guy had a concept and decided to buy a frame as an adult and framed his own photo of when he was a child and then reused the same frame but just updated the photo in the frame. I reuse my kids frames all the time and just update as they get older instead of buying new frames.

When my father's granddaughter was little, she saw a photo of him as a child of two or three and she asked "Did you use to be a girl?".

And Bear, ears certainly do change shape as you age, or at least get bigger.

No I've seen the image here on DPC a while ago. Or at least I'm pretty sure I have. Thought it won a challenge here but I might be wrong.

A couple things to note that it is most likely 4 generations:

Only one person has glasses in the photo. Perhaps the child didn't need them, perhaps the two older were wearing contacts, but I doubt it.

All three men had their photos taken with the same lighting setup. Notice that the left side is remarkably brighter than the right. Could be the same studio over the years, but not likely.

Head shapes don't match up well between the oldest and the next, although the nose is a fitting resemblance.

And what I said before: ears don't change shape. The ears are a dead giveaway.

More likely 4 generations as they are today, son, father, grandfather, great grand father?

Ah yes...most definitely. Your comment was the one that got me to take a second look. :)

I also vote for 4 generations - but awesome execution. There is a very strong facial resemblance between the two older guys (except for the ears :-), some resemblance to the 3rd guy, and impossible to tell with the little boy. But the backgrounds, frames, lighting, all indicate (to me) that this was done in one session.
