Time is strange, and it takes a toll on everything and everyone in the world. No one can stop time, and no one can make the way it affects things truly disappear. After enough time, anything will change in some way, shape, or form. Time can be scary, but time can also be kind of cool. It can be fun to look at old photos and observe how things have changed over time. Whether it be a gap of 10 years or 100 years, the changes people go through are significant.

Pictures hold a lot of memories. Many people have tons of photos from their childhoods and from important moments growing up and maturing. Photographs are sentimental and irreplaceable. Something fun that some folks do is find old photos and recreate them in the present day, to see exactly what has changed.

Here, we have collected 25 images that people have shared where they recreated a photo from the past. Some of these are silly, some interesting, and others a little heartbreaking. Enjoy this montage of photos, then and now.
