Perspective Shots

(I lost the credits for these photos, so for the record they are not original work of DunnWong)

One of my favorite hobbies is to stalk cities around the world via flickr and Google Earth street view. I stumbled upon these beauties while on one of my arm chair adventures:

This guy (again, sorry about the credit) finds vintage photographs of streets/buildings in various cities, goes to the exact location, matches the photo up with the current streetscape and voila! Genius, right? The comparison is really stunning. I especially love how you can see an Model T Ford in the old picture juxtaposed beside the modern vehicles.

I searched a little deeper into this flickr phenomenon and found these (from a different photographer):

Wherever this guy travels, he buys a souvenir of an attraction, which he then incorporates into a perspective shot.

Or, he'll line up the souvenir with the actual tourist attraction. Makes for unique travel memories, wouldn't you say?

He had over one hundred shots from around the world! This was my absolute favorite out of the bunch:

I love being inspired by flickr.
