The past, present and future, all in one photo

So you take a photo of your child every year of her life, starting at zero. But you take these photos in the same place, say a studio with a white background. And every year, you have the kid kind of reacting to either side of her, as if she is interacting with her year-younger self or her year-older self. Or even leaning over and looking across at her two year older self.

Then, after years and years of this, you combine all of these photos into one really long photo of your little girl growing up from left to right, smiling at herself in the past and present as she does so.

Voila.
