KITCHENER - Three months ago, 22-year-old Taylor Jones took a picture that changed his life.
It was a photograph of a picture within a picture of his brother, then 3, at their kitchen table smiling over a Winnie-the-Pooh cake on his birthday.
Flipping through old photos in his Kitchener home 15 years later, he saw the picture and his brother -- now 18 -- sitting in the same spot.
Jones grabbed his camera, held up the photo and snapped the picture. He sent it to friends, posted it on Twitter and started dearphotograph.com, posting other "then" and "now" pictures.
That began a three-month rollercoaster ride that's seen Jones' website ranked first among websites for 2011 by CBS, the seventh best of the year by Time magazine and made his face one even Diane Sawyer recognizes (she interviewed him for ABC News).
