Then And Now *Part 2* -3/25/07

This is the second set of the "Then And Now" series. For those of you who have viewed the first set, welcome back. For those of you who haven't, you suck, but I'll explain it anyways. "Then And Now" is a multi series project I have been working on for the last month or so in which I'm bringing historical photographs of my city, Attleboro Massachusetts, to life in the present through my photography. With that said lets start this. -PunkUE Out

Then And Now *Part 1*-3/23/07

I have been doing alot of research on the history of my city Attleboro, Ma. I thought it might be kind of neat to bring some historical photos I found online to life in the present day. I talked it over with a few Abandoned Dreams members and they both thought it was a cool idea so I decided to run with it. This is going to be a multi-series event kind of thing. I shot these after finding my first few sets of historical photos. There will be more to come. Consider this a history lesson from a dumb asshole with too much free time on his hands. As much as I would like to credit the original artists and photographers, the best I can do is credit the site I found the photos on.
All historical photos in this post are from WWW.Attleboro.ORG
