 Inspired by websites such as this one: Dear Photograph
It may not have many words, but it doesn't need them - the tutorial is in picture form and explains it quite well.

I've been wanting to have a go at this for a while, now this challenge gave me the incentive for it - thanks, DPC.

I didn't vote on this challenge, but am adding this to my faves. I have a similar pic of me riding with my toddler daughter, but since I was stationed in the UK at the time, I can't exactly go back to do a fun shot like yours.

Oh so beautiful. I've seen stuff like this before and love the concept. What a wonderful keepsake to have too.

Convincing! I imagine this was very tedious...

I saw an article about this last weekend and was wondering if anyone would do it for this challenge. Well done.

Good technique, 1995 is not that long ago! thanks for making me feel old with your newly learned internet photo tricks!

Nifty. This is so Kodak. There’s much to like about this; the nice bold primary colours (especially comparing the shiny now with the slightly aged look of the then), the mix of focus, the whole concept, it’s originality, and the fact it genuinely tells a story. Minor criticism is that I’d like to see it a little narrower, maybe have the background a bit more in focus (though the way it is doesn’t really detract) and I think if she was riding her bike with the dog on the luggage rack that might be a bit more ‘through the ages’ kind of thing. Cool Toyota too. I really like this; had a good honest solid warmth about it and doesn’t feel remotely as contrived as a lot of stuff you see.

My First Weighted Scoring System ™; composition + technical 2.5/3, challenge* 1/1, post processing results 2/2, ooooh factor 3/3, originality 1/1 (I’d give it a bonus if I could) = 9.5 rounded to 10 (* I don’t think it’s possible to not meet the challenge on this one so everyone gets a 1/1)

I read the thread re: Dear Photograph. It's a great concept and this is a nice rendition.

Ahh! I love this. I saw the thread/website/challenge idea posted awhile back - this is a fantastic job. Would love to see a whole challenge of these.
