Scott Heins Recreates Old Photos of NYC #celebratephotography
Gothamist’s Dear NYC has been one of our favorite reads since it launched. Part of that series is Then & Now: Recreating Old Photos. So far photos of Brooklyn, Manhattan and Staten Island have been published! Can’t wait for the whole set. Here’s an excerpt from Scott Heins’ Manhattan recreations:
And nothing is more painful than plucking out some historic photographs of NYC, reshooting them in present day, and placing them side-by-side. The exercise does, however, also offer a striking look at just how much the city has changed, while giving glimpses at things that have miraculously remained.
We #celebratephotography here at Adafruit every Saturday. From photographers of all levels to projects you have made or those that inspire you to make, we’re on it! Got a tip? Well, send it in!
If you’re interested in making your own project and need some gear, we’ve got you covered. Be sure to check out our Raspberry Pi accessories and our DIY cameras.
