Michael Zhang, reporting for PetaPixel:
Teeuwisse began shooting her then-and-now photos after finding 300 old WWII photographs on negatives at a flea market in her hometown. After having the images digitized, she visited the various locations shown in the photos (figuring that out is a feat in its own right) and re-photographed them from the same location and with the same framing. The two versions are then combined with careful blending in Photoshop.
The intriguing images are a haunting reminder of the role place plays in the course of history. Check out the rest of the images in Jo Teeuwisse’s Flickr set.
