- leontes, on 10/14/2008, -8/+41This is utterly fascinating. I think there is a kind of sadness in the change in environment that happens with time. We are all witnesses to the loss of something special that exists in our momentary experience.
I thought it was a compelling piece of that short-lived and otherwise disappointing television program Amsterdam to think that a place can change so dramatically in such a short amount of time.
Looking at the map differences of Boston, the projected flooding of the Galapagos, the artist renditions of the pyramids after their initial building all are testaments that what we see today is not an involute quality but a temporal experience that only exists in this moment.

We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are."
-Tennyson, Ulysses - spiritflare1, on 10/14/2008, -1/+31interestingly enough, some of the retro photos look more futuristic than the modern ones
- Guardiandevil91, on 10/14/2008, -4/+30not that much difference...
- gtluke, on 10/14/2008, -4/+29so basically its cleaner and our cars have less personality
- chriswastaken, on 10/27/2009, -0/+23And the newer ones have more trees.
- bbland, on 10/14/2008, -6/+26umm this is a ***** example. most places in these pictures look exactly the same then & now.
- mogebier, on 10/15/2008, -1/+21That wasn't very exciting
- wpc33, on 10/15/2008, -1/+18WOW. The trees are bigger.
And wouldn't ya know it, they finished that building!
This is the poorest execution imaginable, for such a good idea.
Buried. - rednaxela825, on 10/14/2008, -0/+15Always relevevant in any topic.
- theOster, on 10/15/2008, -0/+13except in this case, it's all pretty much the same.
- digitalArtform, on 10/15/2008, -0/+9San Francisco Then and Now (Hitchcock's Vertigo)
http://www.basichip.com/vertigo/main.htm - wendelgee2, on 10/15/2008, -0/+9You're right.
Don't move here.
We don't want you. - windmarble, on 10/14/2008, -2/+9On some of them make sure you click on the the other sizes link to see bigger pictures with better detail. Wish they were all like that. Pretty cool though.
- onux16, on 10/14/2008, -3/+10I felt like I was playing that game where you circle the things different between the two pictures.
- zerton, on 10/15/2008, -1/+8That downtown shot is about to get a hell of a lot more interesting

- Rivetgeek, on 10/15/2008, -1/+8i don't know why this is getting dugg down. there really isnt that much difference. a couple buildings torn down here and there, and different cars. Thats about it
- dickybrown, on 10/15/2008, -0/+6I agree - except there seem to be more trees in the recent photos - who'd have thunk it?
- theOster, on 10/15/2008, -0/+6exactly - new york is pretty timeless. even the natives (as opposed to the fashionista transplants) are pretty timeless. i would love to see some kind of visual on the demographic changes - *that* would be interesting.
- cheeseplease, on 10/15/2008, -0/+6Yeah they filled up almost all of my 320*240 screen!
- GawtMilk, on 10/15/2008, -0/+5I think this series is an anti-thesis to that argument, though. In these images there was very little change. Between most of the images, you could not even see any new buildings - the Guggenheim in particular. Even the tree has only grown a small amount! I think the most noticeable difference is in the number and size of the trees surrounding the buildings.

I think there are a number of photographs of early 20th century New York that would be better candidates to show the changes in New York, both in terms of people, styles and vehicles, but in terms of architectural development.

- inactive, on 10/15/2008, -0/+5Why do you sit so far away from your computer? I'm only a couple of inches away from it
- inactive, on 10/15/2008, -1/+5Until she realized those pictures of your penis were actual size
- CiDaemon, on 10/15/2008, -0/+4My school is in the first picture.
...yes, I know you don't really care. - john2kx, on 10/14/2008, -0/+4Please die in a fire.
- zerton, on 10/15/2008, -1/+5Downtown NY post war architecture is seriously lacking. But look what's coming: http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/66462361/original ...
truly an amazing complex - Rivetgeek, on 10/15/2008, -0/+4zomg a/s/l???
- Indierocka, on 10/14/2008, -0/+4In all honesty do you really think anyone will read that? just blog it
- inactive, on 10/15/2008, -0/+3I especially was fascinated with pic #3 in the way the tree grew. You can see clearly how the branches widened and forked over time. The bigger they got, they less kinked they seemed to be. Nice pics.
- zaldoe, on 10/14/2008, -5/+8Humans cannot perceive the impact of time until it stares them in the face.
- aladrin, on 10/15/2008, -0/+3You measure progress by how much it has changed? Perhaps you should dig deeper and look at what matters, instead.
- arcooke, on 10/15/2008, -1/+4Great link, thanks.
I wish so bad I grew up then instead of now. Everything is just so.. bland and corporate now if that makes any sense. Just seemed a lot much rich in culture back then. - inactive, on 10/15/2008, -0/+3Yeah, the last one on the left did that for me oddly enough. Maybe it's because the photo has better depth, but the earlier one with fewer skyscrapers looks way more futuristic. Probably because they actually gave two ***** about what most of their buildings looked like and didn't just erect McScrapers.
- Jebra, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2Who designs half of these image galleries on the internet? There are much better ways to showcase images like this.
- pradvan, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2and so is your face. you dont see us complaining
- Caleb83, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2In these pictures, it's like the twin towers never existed.
- TitoBob, on 10/14/2008, -1/+3Didn't Lauryn Hill do this in her "That Thing" music video?
- mdoom, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2seriously...what the *****?
- ShoeSh1ne, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2Surprisingly little has changed, from those pictures of course.
- Caleb83, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2the Guggenheim looks way more futuristic in the 50s than it does today. Just by those pictures.
- mattbelanger, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2No matter what you believe concerning 9/11.... but you can't deny how beautiful and stunning this is going to be
- Codename, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2Who else thought the 2nd picture had a Starbucks logo in it?
- black27696, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2I love how everyone is missing the whole point of this, because a lot of diggers are so used to the war cry of "omg look how humans have destroyed everything because they were too stupid" while they eat cheez-its in their mother's basement.
- aladrin, on 10/15/2008, -0/+1Digg freaked out. Double post.
- inactive, on 10/15/2008, -0/+1ok done
- brett1337, on 10/15/2008, -0/+1I liked this comment.
