Chris Porsz, a paramedic by trade, spent his spare time during the 1970s and 1980s wandering the streets of Peterborough, England, taking candid photos of passersby. Decades later, he came up with the brilliant idea of finding these strangers again and photographing them in a similar style. This unique project, called Reunions II, is a long-awaited follow-up to a series he started 10 years ago.

Bright Side has shared some photos from Chris’s collection, showing that Reunions II demonstrates how some things remain unchanged, even as time goes by.
