女兒以後製方法走進媽媽的年少時代！

對於 Danielle Delph 而言，她與媽媽的感情有如親密朋友般要好，以至她時常幻想如果她不是媽媽的女兒，而是她真正的朋友，那時生活又會是如何的呢？現實世界當然不可能發生，但Delph 則在電腦世界，以後製方法把自己放上媽媽的舊照片之中，實現了這個有趣的幻想。

Delph 先找到媽媽的舊照片，然後把同年齡的自己的相片後製上媽媽身旁，彷彿她們曾一同經歷這些事情一樣。有趣的是，Delph 發現自己與媽媽的面容，以至大家小時侯喜歡的東西，都有很相似的地方。

Delph 與媽媽現時的合照

  老實說，盡管父母的愛對子女而言是無比偉大，但即使大家明白都好，這種滿有心思的創作，通常都只會為情人而作的吧，哈哈，可見Delph 真的非常珍愛她的媽媽。但願以後的日子裡，兩人還能這般親密地相處，繼續在生活裡互相愛護和支持對方。

日本女攝影師Chino Otsuka，早前也有試過以這種後制方法「穿越時空」，尋找小時侯的自己，不妨一同看看阿！
