Saw these on a news site this morning - digital montages mixing people of 1914 with their 21st century counterparts on the streets of Adelaide.

Rather than the fancy photoshopping I'd rather see them side by side to see the changes more clearly.

 

It is extremelywell done 'fancy photoshopping' and I would imagine very saleable.

 

There are plenty of now and then photos available to anyone who cares to google it.....here is one lot http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/special-features/then-and-now
