This Photographer Recreated 40-Year-Old Pictures By Tracking The Same People Down. WOW!

Chris Porsz is a street photographer who took a lot of pictures roaming around the streets of Peterborough, England in the 70s and the 80s. Now, about 40 years later, he has managed to track down a lot of the people he photographed and recreated those pictures, often at the same location, to compile a beautiful collection.

The compilation, aptly named ‘Reunions’ is the most ambitious project of the artist and is a result of remarkable planning and dedication on his part.
