Then and Now - A Photo Project

February 3rd, 2010
Hello 365

I've just started doing a little project within 365, which came about from looking up the history of the places and streets where I've been taking pictures. I'm now finding old photographs of places in London, then returning to the exact same spot and taking a new photo. Not sure why, but it's kind of entertaining.

I thought some of you might want to try a similar thing - fun and educational!

Here's the one that started me off:

many more to come!

Simon, this is an excellent concept! I just took a look at your photos, and the comparison is breath-taking! I can't wait to see more, and am thinking of doing a few myself in Los Angeles.

How clever! I like this a lot. Definitely will try to do this at least once. Thanks for the idea!

Funny how photos have to be cropped to match - It seems that old cameras have a different field / depth.

Great idea! Must think of trying this too sometime.

Oh, how wonderful! I'm a big time-travel fan, and this seems like such a cool way to take that trip back in time. I thought about doing a project like this here in Chicago, but never got around to it, so I'm very anxious to see your project as it develops. :-)
