Then And Now - Photography Contest [25 entries]

St. Peter

Winning entry, with a score of:

70%

Contest goal:

Find a photo on the web that shows a place of somewhere near to where you live BUT from a long time ago. Take a photo of the same place as it is now.
You must give the link to the old photo.
You can also upload OLD photos to the SBS, but remember to tell us where the photos were taken and approximately when.
Remember we want the original to be taken a long time ago, the older the better, but at least 50 years ago, that means Early 1960's or before.

Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

kyricom: Why does it have to be a photo from the web? We have lots of historical photos of our area, some over 100 years old, but they aren't posted anywhere (that I know of). Couldn't we just show them in an SBS? ( 5 years and 2591 days ago )

CMYK46: I agree with Mark. ( 5 years and 2591 days ago )

Contest Moderator: I think that is a good idea, but with some history, lets have some more opinions, please.
I also think it's a really good idea to post both the then and now photo in the SBS so we can have a good look. ( 5 years and 2591 days ago )

Contest Moderator: Goal has been amended. ( 5 years and 2591 days ago )

MossyB: I have an old photo taken over 60 years ago by our then neighbor across the street. She passed away about 15 years ago, so there is no way to obtain permission. The photo has never been published anywhere. Can I still use it? ( 5 years and 2590 days ago )

SaHdeeQ: i think that should be okay Mossy ( 5 years and 2589 days ago )

eco: IÂ´m havin a hard time giving my vote in this contest, I know IÂ´m supposse to give my vote for the "now picture", but sometimes IÂ´m stund at the transformation of the place itself. Great contest suggestion. ( 5 years and 2588 days ago )
