The idea was to revisit historic photograph locations and take identical photographs, as if the camera never moved and the world changed around it. It’s a little more difficult than I expected due to variations in lenses, inaccessibility of locations and a lack of constant markers. Still all of these are close to correct(some are better than others). To get even these poor shots I had to overlay old maps to decipher the locations of buildings long gone.

Not exactly groundbreaking as the effect is easily reproduced with old + new video footage, but interesting nonetheless. Reproducing the same effect using a still camera on location definitely poses its own challenges.
