I can't wait either! I can look for ages at those "now and then" photos that have been appearing lately at some of the subway stations.
Check out the "Miscellany Toronto: Then & Now" thread on the city Photos Forum on urbantoronto.ca
It's 185 pages of fantastic then and now photos started by "Mustapha" ... great fun, and addictive!
Here's the direct link to that thread:

It's definitely worth a look if your like this stuff. It's packed with great "before and afters". I think that Spacing should mention it somewhere.
Hi Alden,
Another great one; you have great eye for the locations that have artistic and interest factor.
I hope one day to see all the ones to come here at Spacing as well as the ones at our thread at UT in a gallery somewhere, or in a coffee table book.
My warmest regards,
Jeff








This photo is great. I just started working on a series using the same idea of blending the old and new photos together. It's a great way of understanding the evolution! I can't wait to see next fridays
