UC Berkeley Then & Now: Collages I've Created

[James Burleigh]

I love "Then & Now" photos. Some of you saw the one I created as part of my post about returning to my old hometown in Massachusetts (https://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab40/jburleigh/IMG_0692_zps225992cb.jpg). Doing that put me in mind of doing something similar with the old images of my alma mater and current work location, UC Berkeley. Here are some Then & Now montages I put together of UC Berkeley. I took pictures of the old photos hanging in the library and elsewhere, then went to the site and shot a photo from roughly the same location, then merged them in PowerPoint.

Looks like they painted everything in the last 30 years.

Cool!

I've taken some old photo's of family from the early 1900's and found the exact location and had a picture of myself taken in the same spot, fun!

Looks somewhat like scenes from the movie Pleasantville. Interesting play of old 'n new.

Same sort of photo manipulation from pictures of the old Cass Technical High School in Detroit. Very cool.
