Philadelphia Past and Present: Center City
Wow. I found this assignment much harder than I thought it would be. There is one thing rephotographing a photograph from last week let alone rephotographing one from 100+ years ago. Philadelphia looks completely different in so many ways. Doing this assignment — and comparing a picture I took to something from 1907 or whatever definitely showed me just that.
I found all of my old photographs from the Free Library of Philadelphia’s website in the “Center City” category.
So here it goes…
