People In This Group Are Recreating Photographs From Their Past, And Here Are 91 Of The Best Ones

You can't bring back the past. But you can recreate it. And when you do, take a photograph and submit it to the subreddit r/PastAndPresentPics. Everyone else does.

Whether it's a quirky childhood memory, a romantic teenage moment, or an honorable ancestral tribute, these guys welcome it all. 

To give you an idea of how to pull it off, we at Bored Panda hand-picked a selection of the best posts we could find on the subreddit and even managed to have a friendly chat with the moderators about everything that goes on in this wholesome online community.
