Called "Young Me/Now Me," the project began this spring and has yielded results that range from hilarious to poignant. The submission process is decidedly low-tech. Just e-mail your images to Frank, and they just might be seen on the website and possibly the upcoming homonymous book based on the project.
According to Frank, such projects aren't created to show off new or trendy technology. "In an ever-changing technological landscape, where today’s platforms are not tomorrow’s platforms, the key seems to be that any one of these spaces can use a dose of humanity and art and culture," he said.
Frank is an Internet personality less famous for being "famous" and more well-known for having mastered web memetics fairly early in his career.
Here's a small dose from Young Me/Now Me:
There are hundreds of images to browse; it's one of the more interesting time-killers we've stumbled across recently, without a doubt.
Frank also blogs about some of his favorite images at the Young Me/Now Me blog.
If you've got any good or, better yet, interesting pictures of "young you," what are you waiting for? Go ahead and find a few props, make phone calls to your childhood friends and figure out a way to recreate that corduroy romper.
