Updated | By Jane-Linley Thomas
A street photographer tracked down people he captured on camera 30 years ago, recreated them and the results are amazing. Jane decided to share a picture of herself 30 years ago vs now! Check it out here.
Back in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, a street photographer by the name of Chris Porsz spent hours walking the streets of Peterborough in England, taking hundreds of amazing character photographs. Over 30 years later, he has tracked down those same people to recreate their pics, resulting in 135 beautiful photo reunions.

He has captured everyone from policemen to punks to lovers to siblings.
All of the pictures have been put into a book, titled 'Reunions', telling the stories of the people in the pictures. What a wonderful idea, I love it!
