Yes, the one on the left is me 18 years ago. I got this idea from Peter Feldstein, who started The Oxford Project in 1984, he set out to photograph every last person in Oxford, Iowa. Two decades later, he's doing it again, creating a unique portrait of heartland America. There simple photographs of everyday people that live in this town, and 20 years later he takes there picture the same way. It's so amazing to me what you can tell about a person in a picture. I would love to be able to do something like this one day.
