Cute Baby Photographs Recreated by a Not-As-Cute Fully-Grown Man

Have a cute baby photograph from shortly after you first entered this world? New York City resident Molly Thomas wants to rephotograph it. Thomas has been running a humorous photo blog titled “My Precious Roommate.” Each entry features a photo of a baby submitted by readers and a photo by Thomas that recreates the submitted image with the baby replaced by Thomas’ roommate — a fully grown man.

Head on over to My Precious Roommate if you’d like to see more of these photos, or to follow along as new ones are created.

The project is like a less-serious version of photographer Lee Goldup’s work that we featured last year. Goldup shot a series of Anne Geddes‘ style infant photos with adults as the subjects.
