In this Flickr pool titled Looking Into the Past, people hold out old pictures of their homes or neighborhods and overlap them with the current structures as background to create fascinating "then and now" collages.
At first I thought there was no way it was real, just some dandy Photoshopping. The closer I got though, I think they're legit, although a few are suspect. They are from different people, and looks like they all congregate on Flickr to share. Pretty rad. I'm so happy I don't have a stack of old photos from my neighborhood. I might not get anything done the next few days. "Why is that guy standing in the middle of the street taking pictures of his hand?"

What incredible times do we live in.
I was once interested in robotics, but dude, get the f*** outta here, I'll start digging on this today!
Who knows, maybe that's my job in the future :)
