Dear Photograph is the brainchild of 22 yr old Canadian, Taylor Jones.
Here's how it started.
Jones found a picture of his brother, taken in the same kitchen years earlier, sitting in the same spot he was now. Jones, meanwhile, was seated in the same position as his mother had been when she took the picture. He held up the old print, aligned it visually with its real-life background, and shot a new image of it.
When Jones posted the picture online, it quickly became Dear Photograph, a website where people can share a new photo of an old photo, with a brief message addressed to the original image, or more accurately, to the past itself.

I just chose some of my favourites on the Dear Photograph website and hope you enjoy them. You can submit photos to his website, but they can't guarantee it will be posted.
I think it would be a fun project to do yourself and a lovely way to bring old memories to life.
Have fun.
