Now and Then

It's really fun to see an old photograph and realize that you can relate to where the image was captured—it's as if you're somehow a part of the past in a really tangible way. This would explain why I am so intrigued by this viewer-participated photo project curated by the Australian Broadcast Corporation (ABC). ABC invited everyone with an old photograph to visit the location of the picture and take another picture, with the old image in the frame, in the modern environment. I'm not doing a great job of explaining this, but you'll get the idea I promise:



Pretty great huh? See tons and tons more here. Also (as they readily admit) they were influenced by the awesome Flickr pool "Looking into the Past" which you should also check out.
