Genius！ Photographer Chino Otsuka has discovered the art of time travel. Instead of exploiting a whole in the space-time continuum to time travel， she simply digitally spliced her adult self into old photographs from her childhood. That way it looked like adult version of Otsuka was meeting child version of Otsuka. So clever！

Otsuka explains the thought process behind her excellent photo series “Imagine Finding Me”：

“The digital process becomes a tool， almost like a time machine， as Im embarking on the journey to where I once belonged and at the same time becoming a tourist in my own history.”

Sometimes she mimics what she did as a kid， other times shes simply crossing paths with her childhood self and theres even a few pictures where it looks like shes taking care of her childhood self. Its clever photo manipulation but a few of these shots really make it look like she was there the entire time.

簡(jiǎn)直是天才！日本攝影師大冢千野發(fā)現(xiàn)了穿越的藝術(shù)。不過(guò)她不是在時(shí)空連續(xù)體中經(jīng)歷完整的時(shí)間旅行，而是用數(shù)字技術(shù)把自己成年的圖像疊加到兒時(shí)的照片中，這樣就看起來(lái)像成年版大冢和童年版大冢相遇一樣，真是智慧之作啊！

她這樣解釋自己這組名叫“假如找到我自己”的系列照片背后的思考過(guò)程：

“數(shù)字處理是個(gè)很好的工具，就像一個(gè)時(shí)光機(jī)。在這樣一個(gè)時(shí)光機(jī)里，我踏上旅途回到我原本屬于的地方，同時(shí)也成為我自己歷史的拜訪者。”

有時(shí)候她會(huì)模仿小時(shí)候的動(dòng)作，有時(shí)候她只是簡(jiǎn)單地出現(xiàn)在兒時(shí)自己的旁邊，甚至有幾張照片就好像她在照顧童年的自己。這真是一種巧妙的攝影處理手法，其中的幾張照片就好像她一直都在那兒一樣。
