Now & Then

"Now and Then" is a photography project - with a twist - an old photograph is held up in front of a modern scene at the same place and a new photo of it is taken, to tell a story of past moments and how times have changed.

Inspired by the Flickr group "Looking into the Past", "Now and Then" uses a photography technique that has become popular around the world.

"Now and Then" images contributed to ABC Open are seen nationally and internationally, and could even end up on ABC TV. The challenge is to create a window into the past by photographing an old photo in its current setting, and some people have been truly creative in this aspect!
