Chrissie, I think the woman on the left is supposed to be Jennifer Aniston, and the woman on the right is Jessica Simpson.  Is that the part you couldn't figure out, or did you mean that you couldn't figure out what the two women have in common to put them together in the photo?  I can't figure out what they have in common except brown roots and high-profile failed marriages.

Lynne:
What a neat thread, Chrissi - thank you!!  :-*

Yes, that was the part I couldn't figure out, now it makes sense. I thought it was the same woman, but photgraphed/photoshopped to look somewhat different. :laugh: But now, when I look more closely, it's two different women.
Thanks for explaining!

Penthesilea:
*bump*
for Throwback Thursday. And I have some cool additions to the thread.

Someone (I think it was Fritz) linked this page on FB and I thought it fits nicely here.




Tom Hussey, an award-winning lifestyle advertising photographer based in Dallas, Texas, gives us the sense of time travel and the progression of age in his series “Reflections. The series shows individual images of elderly people looking in a mirror at their younger selves.

The campaign, which was posted to Behance in 2009, has since become the third most ‘appreciated’ project on the entire website. The imagery is beautiful and the concept is definitely thought-provoking.

Tom arrived upon the concept for “Reflections” after a conversation with Gardner, an 80-year-old World War II veteran who couldn’t believe how quickly time had passed. Tom reveals:

“He commented that he didn’t understand how he could be 80 years old as he felt he was still a young man. He just didn’t feel it was possible he could be 80 years old.

I started thinking about a milestone age approaching for me, as I was nearing 40. I realized that everyone thinks of themselves at a certain age or time in life. I built a bathroom set and photographed Gardner staring into his bathroom mirror and seeing himself as a 25-year-old young man.”
The conversation inspired Tom to photograph that veteran looking into a bathroom mirror, with a reflection of his younger self staring back. Tom used the resulting image in his portfolio, and years later it was picked up by Novartis as the concept for an advertising campaign for their Alzheimer’s drug (Exelon Patch). The completed campaign was so well received that each image was run full-page in brochures — a first for this pharmaceutical brand. The campaign also ran in the  2010 Communication Arts Photography Annual.
