The aging process is ongoing and one we don’t typically notice on a daily basis (see the captivating video at the bottom of the post, it perfectly demonstrates the subtlety of aging). However, when you see childhood photos of your grandparents or parents (or even yourself!), the difference can be startling.

In a recent video posted to dovga, we see portraits of elderly people transitioned into photos of their younger self. While many facial characteristics remain recognizable, the aging process is clear. The video featured 10 portraits which were then turned into Internet-friendly animated gifs by gifcraft.

While the animated gifs are dramatic, be sure to watch the video at the end to see how subtle the process really is. Everyone gets old; it’s how we live between the ‘then’ and ‘now’ that really matters.
