Ghosts of WWII
« on: Tuesday, August 03, 2010, 10:20:30 AM »
Awesome

This guy takes old WWII photos, goes to that same location and retakes the photo from the same place/angle, and blends them together. Its pretty amazing to see the contrast.

I thought this would be real hard to do, but there are so many of them.  I wonder how long he's been at it.

Probably a while. Tracking down the exact spot the originals were taken must be hard enough, but then you have to match so many photography related things (a big medium format camera and lens is going to take photos differently from whatever modern camera hes using)...pretty wild.

I would buy a coffee table book of these. They're pretty varied in quality though.

It would be cool to see entirely in black and white and no sharp colour to black and white contrast.
