Funny Flashback Photography

The Passport and Reality Project Pokes Fun at Ridiculous Passport Pics

— June 2, 2011 — Pop Culture
If you've exhausted all of your yearbooks for laughs, get your giggles from the hilarious Passport and Reality project.

This clever project involved the participation of volunteers who didn't mind making a fool out of themselves. These selfless subjects submitted their passport photos to the project. Organizers then captured a current photo of them and pasted it next to their 'port pic. This dramatic juxtaposition ensued hilarious results; often, the subjects' passport photos were severely dated. Their dated pictures look nothing like their current selves, and it's quite amusing to see how they have evolved. Let's just hope they don't use these passport pictures anymore, I highly doubt they'd make it off ground.

This Passport and Reality project is sure to get you chuckling.
