Looks awesome. Also look like the traffic killed their site. Isn't there a term for that?

Oh crap, my folks just had *hundreds* of slides from my childhood (and my 2 brothers) scanned recently. I'm not sure I can risk the scars of going back to find some that would work for this though. The plaid clothes...the bowl haircuts...the horror. The horror. Oh God, no.

Cute. Some people didn't seem to "get it", but others were pretty good matches. The superman one is just creepy.

Half of me really wants to do it, the other half is creeped out by the idea of me dressing in some of my baby pictures.

I think it's a really awesome idea! It would make for a great family portrait or Christmas card photo, especially seeing as most families don't have portraits taken together after their children grow up.
It's also interesting to see how the photo quality has changed over time!

My first thought was that a lot of cute kids turn into ugly adults. It's kind of sad, really.

The second picture set, of the lady by herself. She hasn't changed at all! It's kinda freaky.
