Photographer Makes A Historical Reunion By Tracking Down The Random People Captured 40 Years Ago

In the ‘70s and ‘80s, Chris Porsz spent his free time on the street of Peterborough, England taking photos of people passing by. After several decades, he decides to get people back together in his images. Chris Porsz named his project Reunions 2 which was set up to connect people in a special way- helping them reunite in the pictures. So, he finds these strangers and takes their photos in the same old way.
The dedicated man believes that unexpected moments in the past can bring us enjoyment. Although Porsz has found so many difficulties to recreate the images he took decades ago, he's totally pleased with his achievement. Because when we look at the strangers' smiles in the photos, we’ll realize that happiness comes from the simplest things. Let’s scroll and enjoy these moments with us.
