Yaris in Dear Photograph
I'm sure some of you have heard of this website, people take old photographs back to the location they were taken and then take another picture of them holding it up and aligned with the background.
I was perusing through some of the latest submissions when I came across this... I believe it's British based on the registration plate. Cheers! M2

Basically, people find an old photo and line it up with the background during the modern day. (I know, horrible description...)
For example, here's another one... Quote:

It's a way to remember the past and connect it to the present day. Not that hard of a concept to grasp, and not weird in any way...

The original ones where it they matched up photos of post-WWII Europe with what it looks like now are really neat. I think it's a really cool concept.

Yea it certainly is weird. Taking the photo to begin with is weird to me. Not everyone lives their lives one photo at a time. I never understood people who went on vacation and instead of enjoying it hid behind a camera the entire time. People are all different, we are not exact carbon copies of each other. The only camera I own is on my phone, and I almost never use it. Not to mention not everyone wants to remember the past. Some would do anything they could if they could just forget it.

I don't know about you, but I've been all over this world to some interesting places that I like to remember. I have photographs from places you've probably never heard of, much less been to; and I enjoy going back and recalling some of the details that have slipped my memory. Maybe once you've gotten a bit older you'd understand, but take a little free advice in that perhaps one day you will feel differently about this, and the absence of any photographic evidence of some of the things and places you've experienced will be missed. But if the subject of photography is so appalling to you, then do me a favor and skip this thread altogether and let those of us who appreciate it without any negative commentary! Thanks! M2
