13 Years/"That Face"

Every school photo of me from junior kindergarten to grade 12.

 

From the ages of 4 years old to 17 years old.

 

I've wanted to do this for awhile, and then earlier today, by coincidence, I saw something exactly like this on Flickr by someone else (except in color).

 

My apologies for the awful quality of my middle/high school photos, they had to be scanned right out of my yearbooks. I never ordered photos in grade nine or eleven, so I had to do that. And I couldn't find my grade ten ones.

 

Note: I only got glasses during the winter of 2007, so only my grade 12 photo has me with glasses on. I used Adobe PhotoShop for turning the scanned photos into black and white to match the yearbook photos already black and white, and I used InDesign to put them together.

 

The number of tags is a record for me. I won't ever put that many again. But then again, I can only add 75, as I found out when I added them.

As well, this will be another Madness reference, this time to the song "That Face."

 

"I see a face that face is mine/the mirror marks the change in time. A face I'll never see again/and it will never be the same.

 

Reflections of yesterday!"

 

I kind of went through that kind of reflection while scanning these, especially my yearbook photos. Indeed, that face will never be the same.
