I held up the photo from the past and lined it up with the present scene and suddenly the light bulb idea appeared and everything went in slow motion. I ran around the house with various other old photos in hand, snapping picture after picture, capturing the scene that was taking me for a ride back in time.

I knew I wanted to share this with my friends right now and that's when I ran to my computer to upload the photo to Tumblr and responded to the invite of what would I like to write for a caption.  I wondered what my brother would say to his picture if he could talk to that little guy back then. I typed out the salutation " Dear Photograph, I wish I had as much swag then as I do now." I posted it along with five other photos that expressed my desire to reconnect with my past by taking me back in time, allowing me to relive the memory even for just a moment or two.

Friends loved the photos and began sharing them with their friends and they in turn did the same. I created a Twitter feed and Facebook profile and the hits were growing exponentially everyday.
