Although tangible photographs will probably be obsolete in 10 years or so, there's something inherently wonderful about old snapshots. A new blog titled Dear Photograph highlights that nostalgic wonder by incorporating old pictures into modern life.

Dear Photograph is like a hybrid of Sleeveface and Young Me, Now Me. In it, folks hold up old pictures in the rooms/locations that they were taken, match up the edges, and take new pictures.

The blog is the creation of Taylor Jones, who resides in Ontario, Canada. He launched it two weeks ago. "I was sitting at the my kitchen table with my Mom, Dad and brothers, looking at an old family album," he says. "I pulled a picture out of the album, held it up, and realized it was in the exact same range and place from where I was sitting. Eureka! Took a picture!"
