#Microblog Monday 349: Deep Nostalgia Pictures

Not sure what #MicroblogMondays is? Read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too.

I read about deep nostalgia pictures on My Heritage. They are animations of your old images, so you can see people in motion.  Perhaps you have an ancestor you never got to meet, or you don’t have video footage of someone who died when you were young. You can animate the image and get a sense of what they were like when they were alive.

Which sounded all kinds of amazing, and I have old photos that I would love to do this with. But I decided to start with a picture of myself to create a base. If the picture felt like a video of myself, I would upload some older images.

But it didn’t. It didn’t look or move like me at all. To be sure (since it can be hard to judge your own face), I asked Josh and he gave a hard no. It didn’t capture me. It felt like my features plastered over someone else’s features.

So a disappointment, but it would have been amazing if it worked.
