I've seen a neat trick a few times on a Russian site: old black whites have portions replaced with new pictures of the same place. The old Siege of Leningrad pictures with bits of modern St. Petersburg were eerie. So the eye runs in the family then ;) I loved them, and partly because they’re all in black and white.

Here in Colorado, one of the biggest books ever has our premier outdoor photographer tracking around to find the exact spots where our premier photog from a century ago took some of his greatest shots. Then he shoots the same pic and the book puts them side-by-side. Incredible. I imagine a similar project in London would be equally revealing.

It's interesting how many of these look exactly the same today, except for the cars. Other places are unrecognizable. But still, it's London. Such a great city! He's captured it well.
