Old World War II-Modern Day Photo Juxtapositions

Russian photographer Sergey Larenkov took old World War II photos and superimposed them into modern day photos with matching perspectives. What comes out as results are powerful images of stark contrast. Streets that were once occupied by marching military personnel and weapons are now occupied by cars and everyday folk. Architectures that were once in rubble from war and military occupation are now beautiful places of interests bustling with activity. Gritty, poor quality photos placed along with clean, high quality photos shows the advancements we’ve made with photo technology.

It’s crazy when you think about the locations you see and visit everyday; what they’ve gone through throughout their histories. And even before they existed, what was there or what was going on before. During World War II, during the Civil War, during the Revolution. Hell, during prehistoric times. [Sergey Larenkov]
