Reviving the Ghosts of Amsterdam

by Mike Richard | December, 2010

Ghosts of Amsterdam © Jo Teeuwisse

From historical consultant, Jo Teeuwisse, comes one of the cleverest photography concepts I’ve seen in some time:

After discovering some negatives at a flea market and scanning them onto her computer, Teeuwisse then went to each of these Amsterdam locations to take more recent shots. She then merged the two together to make the past come alive. It’s a wonderful way to pay tribute to our past and remember the ones who came before us.

Check out the full gallery and an interview with the photographer at My Modern Met.
