The fabulous Ze Frank started an art project on his spin off/sub-blog of color war games that began as another of his brilliant and fun whims, and this project (the art project, not the spin off/sub-blog) was inspired by the cool dance video that you can see below. (did you follow that? yeah, me either, but i'm not going back to edit ...)
Bottom line? The Young Me/Now Me project invites people to submit photos of themselves when they were kids, and then recreate those same shots today. (i thought i might go dig up a shot to submit but it might be hard since i was running around naked much of the time.) (then again, some might enjoy that ... or run screaming from the room never to return.)
But I digress.
Here's where you go for the "how-to" of the Young Me/Now Me project. (you'll also find more web based adult play-dates from ze frank in that general vicinity ...)
And here's where you can see the cool thing that inspired it all. A dance/video project by a woman named Lauren Thompson (whose youtube name is pooplauren - love that) where she dances along with a movie of herself as a little girl.
We should all dance without restraint like this at least a couple of times a week, don'tcha think? white space white space
This so so much fun---even if it is killing me that the song she is dancing to as a little girl is one I knew from high school.
Where is your now/then pic---did you post one yet?
