Inadvertently people are doing this kind of thing all the time now. In 60 years we’ll be able to see people’s photos as they age from young to old.

- JKCalhoun 6y agoAfter having acquired a few years back family photos going back 100+ years, I can say it is already happening to me. I scanned and digitally retouched every one of the photos over the span of several years — making myself the sort of self-appointed archivist for the family photo album. It gave me plenty of time to look at the people in the photos: relatives all of them but many having died before I was born. In time I was able to recognize them from photo to photo, watch them age, watch the fashions change (as well as consumer camera technology). Entire lives are laid out in the photos: childhood, adulthood, marriage, children of their own, old age, finally a headstone in a small field in Missouri.... There is a somber but touching "cycle of life" on display that can make you try more often to "seize the moment" or at least reflect on your existing in it.
