This photo is great. I just started working on a series using the same idea of blending the old and new photos together. It’s a great way of understanding the evolution! I can’t wait to see next fridays
I can’t wait either! I can look for ages at those “now and then” photos that have been appearing lately at some of the subway stations.
Check out the “Miscellany Toronto: Then & Now” thread on the city Photos Forum on urbantoronto.ca
It’s 185 pages of fantastic then and now photos started by “Mustapha” … great fun, and addictive!
Here’s the direct link to that thread:

It’s definitely worth a look if your like this stuff. It’s packed with great “before and afters”. I think that Spacing should mention it somewhere.
Hi Alden,
Another great one; you have great eye for the locations that have artistic and interest factor.
I hope one day to see all the ones to come here at Spacing as well as the ones at our thread at UT in a gallery somewhere, or in a coffee table book.
My warmest regards,
Jeff
