Saw this the other night, found it interesting, hope you do too....

people get an old photo, then take a photo of the original, trying to match the background from then to the back ground of today.

Lots of touching memories there....

I've attached some images from the site, to give an idea....

Re: Dear photgraph

What a great idea! Many thanks Jamie for turning us on to that site.

Re: Dear photgraph

This was spotlighted on the ABC Evening News last week and sounds like a great idea. Thank you for the link.

Very cool idea

Thanks guys....

I'm wondering about 1st figures then and now kind of theme.... hmmmm

Fascinating stuff Jamie. I never tire of looking at "now and then" pictures. Talking about making a model on this theme I vaguely remember seeing in a magazine a couple of years ago I think a truck that on one side was in its heyday, then turn it around and the other side was rusted up in a junkyard. It was really cool. If I ever find the pic again I shall post it for you.

Other now and then sites, same idea, with the focus on changes in time, rather then people.

More pix attached

Wonderful Jamie the old and new togheter as one, it seems real you know...
Many thanks for sharing with us, really appreciated!

Great links Jamie.

I did something similar a couple of years ago using a photo from a book.
15th Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment (Leeds Pals) marching into Masham on the way to their training camp at Colsterdale Yorkshire 1915 and the same place now.
I know they don't match but I didn't want to get hit by a car :lol:
