Looking back, looking ahead.















Creepy series of images from a Russian site of life during wartime and now. (My Russian’s rusty but I believe it has to do with the blockade of Leningrad.) As for the shots, next big thing? Who knows, but I could see more stuff like this taking off along the same lines as YouTube mashups and record cover memes. Then and now photos, simple stuff that makes you go, “Why didn’t I think of that?” Well, first off, you need old pics. Second thing? You’re too lazy, so don’t even get any ideas. Only place this would never worK? High school prom pics. Background on those things never change.
