WEEKLY INFORMAL CHALLENGE 119: "Then and Now"

Post Thu Jul 19, 2012 5:45 pm


Weekly Informal Challenge number 119 is "Then and Now"

So much going on right now. I'm really struggling to keep up and my schedule is very erratic. I hope to get things back under some control soon.

"Then and Now". Please use your archives/scanner/old pictures for the "then" part. Try to use a fresh shot for the "now" part. The beauty of the resulting image will likely be found in the presentation of the two and the differences and/or similarities that are accentuated/shown.

I think this may need a little clarification. For the "resulting image(s)" you could merge it into a single image or show them together (say like a montage). However you decide to present them is part of the creative process. There are no wrong ways to do this. Just make sure we can see the "then and now" somehow in what you post.

I was intrigued by this theme and thought I would participate even though neither of these images were taken this weekend. Scott or Walter, feel free to delete this post if that is a disqualifier. My feelings won't be hurt.

The top image is a scan from a B&W negative made in 1988 when Toronto's Skydome was under construction. The bottom image was made in late 2011 in Ottawa, Canada.

Then, as now, I'm interested in what happens in photographs of glass or reflective windows.

:) Then ~early 60s :arrow: Image

took me a while but finally figured out the delayed shutter on my relatively new camera so this was a good learning experience.

I love old barns and decided to see if it had decayed much in the last 2-1/2 years.

My entry for the challenge. I couldn't get the exact same PoV because there was big pile of debris in the parking lot.

A different take on the challenge. A photo of something that has not changed in decades inside and out. A rarity in Los Angeles. (The prices have gone up) :lol:
