I was born in 1952 in Midwest US. These photos reminded me of how simple and uncluttered places used to be. Made me surprisingly nostalgic and felt of how comfortable they seemed. Actually much more user friendly than today.

The real interesting thing is how many thing did NOT change.

I am absolutely in love with this channel. I love old photos vs new. The transformation vs the unchanged. They draw me in and I could study these pictures for hours. Who were the people in them? What were they like? Why did they change? Why did they keep the familiar? I just love them!

Thank you for the piece of history. What a great thing to say “my great grandfather and I were trained at the same station”. They must be smiling up there and be so proud of you.

That one of the trenches is the perfect example of the phrase. "Time heals all wounds, though it may leave scars."

I am 80 years old, and I really enjoyed your videos. I am also into photography so I enjoyed that as well. Thanks.

What is most interesting about these pictures is that these places were simply a part of the lives that experienced them. We look back in nostalgia because it seems almost magical that these people lived their lives in these frames frozen in time. One day, 100 years from now, people will look back at our own pictures and imagine the magic of the transition of time. To us, we are simply living out our own stories and existence.

Seeing the tree all grown at 1:01 is so cute

Looking at old pictures gives me goosebumps. Feels like going back to time and live those moments. Imagine in next 100 years people will have tons of pics to compare now and future. Life is a just like a flash of light we can feel that every passing moment will be history one day.

The one of you and your grandpa got me right in the feels...I even studied it for a long time looking to see which trees showed growth during the 73 years… I don’t know why, but it really made me emotional to see it this… Thank you for sharing.

OMG! I am SO SUBSCRIBED!!! This work is absolutely MOVONG! I am standing here (yes, standing at my desk), dumbfounded, lost for words here at this moment... And the shot with the Tree in Maui, not knowing your Grandfather took it during the War? WOW!!! YOU ARE AMAZING!

Thank so very much for not switching the photos too quickly. Made it so much easier to enjoy ❤❤

What's striking is how much remains from the past. The photos of The Shambles and of the Flatiron building in New York are nearly unchanged. I like the picture of you and your grandfather in Tokyo and that the tree to your left survived and grew from a sapling to a big tree. I like the pictures also of you and your great grandfather which I'm sure would have made him proud.

The Utrecht Canal mentioned at 1:54 is actually part of the "singel", a waterway around the old city. So it used to be water, but in the late sixties when more cars started to enter the city and a huge shopping mall was built, the city thought it was a good idea to turn part of the singel into a road. At first you could do highway speeds on it but that was quickly reduced to 70 km. 30 years later, the city changed it mind. The mall and whole area where redesigned and it was decided that the pretty much useless "highway" should be part of the singel again. Work finished about a year ago.

Loved the nostalgic trip back! Born in the late 50's it brought back a lot of memories! We seemed to dwell in Toronto a lot but it looked the same to me!

Very well put together! I particularly liked the old and new pictures merged into one picture. This was very relaxing, wowing and sad at the same time. I miss the good ole days when there was less concrete.

There are a number of Before and After videos on YT. This is the best I have seen. You have captured the implacable nature of "progress" while illustrating the transience of our lives. I found it quite moving. Well done.

Love looking at old photos of places and seeing how they have changed over the years.

Thank you for this. The pictures, then and now, coupled with the background music, make one nostalgic.

How captivating. I have many photos of my old neighborhood while I was growing up. And I must say that in the 50 years since I lived there, nothing has really changed all that much. The old theater we once went to and paid .25c to watch double features on Saturdays is still here only now it's a Playhouse, the same buildings, same apartments, same homes... even our old house is exactly the same. Not even the siding has been changed... the 6-foot privacy fence my parents put up is still standing, and the old Oak tree in the backyard is still there as are the flowerbeds my mother planted herself. All of the people after us kept it all up. It's amazing how some things change so much and others remain frozen in time. Time has passed, I am much older now and have children and grandchildren of my own now, and yet whenever I want to revisit my old hometown I'm taken back to the days when all the children I grew up with played Hide and Seek after dark in the summer, played softball in the field behind my best friends apartment building, we rode our bikes and walked every inch of that neighbor as kids. Now several generations of children have done the same. How nostalgic is that? These photos show just how industrial man is, and our ability to rebuild after times of tragedy, how we expand our world to accommodate the growing population. I wonder what our old photos will reveal in another 100 years.

I always love to see how well dressed and how well mannered people were in the 20s, 30, to the 50s, 60s. The war photos were pretty eerie. It's also unreal how some places have grown in just 20 years. Like Dubai, such a gorgeous place now.

Love the pics with trees that survived many years. 1:02 is my fave; good job!

Just incredible. Looking at these pictures from then to now is like going back in time.

The picture at 0:52 is really cool for several reasons. The big difference is obviously the skyscrapers in the present. But there are also more subtle differences such as the trees. Like the big tree in the foreground on the left, notice how small it was 73 years ago.

I don’t know why, but seeing the older pictures makes me wonder why we call what we have today “progress”. Some of those look so much more inviting going back in time, especially in Toronto.

It's amazing looking at photos like this. It reminds you that however life changes, some things stay the same. Love it. Thanks for sharing.

Just found this today in 2023. Without a doubt one of the most enjoyable videos I've ever watched. Excellent music accompaniment.

nice job, and thanks for leaving the photos up so i can go back and forth on them, noticing the differences. some videos flash the 2 pictures up so fast, i cant tell the differences in them

This is absolutely beautiful. Very touching especially with the comparisons of you and your grandfather and great grandfather. Love the Volvo in San Francisco. What a brilliant video - thank you so much

I love these then and now photos! So awesome! Owner of this KZfaq does such a wonderful and professional job at it! Keep em coming

Thank you for putting this together. Tugs at the heart and the closest we can get to time travel.

The shots with the family member were very cool. The Toronto portion made me realize the bleak almost institutional architecture I have always associated with the 60's apparently actually gained it's foothold in the 1950's...interesting! There are thousands of those little brick homes throught the Chicago suburbs looking very much the same as the day they were built.

I really appreciate the side-by-side comparison. A real visual of changes time brings.

The music stresses the melancholly your pics show and brought me many a tears to see Victoria Park Ave where I spent many years of my youth. Great memories too. Thnx, buddy.

Some, just amazing transformations. Thoroughly enjoyed the comparisons.

Please note: 1:54 Utrecht, the Netherlands, They Converted The Highway To A Canal: Back in the '70s most of the historic city center of Utrecht was demolished to make way for some crappy shopping mall (Hoog Catharijne). Among the many things that had to go, there was the old city canal. It was converted into a highway through the city center. After years of struggle they finaly decided to restore one the many scars left in the '70s, the once canal that was converted into a highway was reconverted into its original state.

Loved looking at these before and after pictures. I especially loved the ones comparing the grandson to his grandfather or great grandfather. Those were so interesting!

I love the images where priceless landmarks are still kept under great care.

Gracias por compartir, maravillosas fotos que hablan del paso del tiempo, de la vida en otras décadas, es una sensación de agradecimiento para todos los que vivieron en esos tiempo. Y gracias a tu abuelo también.

My favorite one(s) Toronto , more recently compared to 1959. I could relate more, thinking about the changes in the city in which I live. I was 8 in '59.. downtown was thriving.. not so much now with urban or should I say suburban sprawl. Most of the buildings still stand but are occupied by fast food places, a few trendy shops, and lofts for lawyers renters and massage therapists.. sadly, quite a few sit empty. The times they are a'changin. But I can walk the streets and remember - or think I do, what it was like! Thanks for these b4 and after images.

I like the care you took to get the "now" pictures framed nearly exactly to how the "then" pictures were framed. Fantastic job.

I just finished scanning photos from our family albums. The differences are amazing. A small oak sapling in our front yard back in 1980 is so big today that two grown men couldn't reach around it and hold hands!

This is amazing!! Thank you for this comparison video. 😊 Happy new year 🥳

Really loved many of the photographs and thank you for sharing. Lovely memories for the family pictures. For my-self and having lived on this earth for a long time 80 plus years it is quite worrying for the future ? when you see the expansion of man and the loss of so much habitat. They tell me it's progress? is it really not too sur about that. Fortuantly I will keep my wonderful memories of times gone by. God bless the future generation and please look after your planet, it not like a house you can not move too another one.

the entire experience was my favorite. Thank you for sharing these treasures with the world, much appreciated!

These are truly amazing pictures,memories of yesteryear, and now. I love history. Thank you for showing these.

Makes me sad so many of the family photos of my childhood home vanished during the move to central Ohio! I had an opportunity to revisit the old hometown a number of years ago, & took pix of my childhood home. The only things subsequent homeowners have added is expanding the bathroom over the pantry (t'was very cramped!) & finally, finally, *finally* someone put a railing on the long front steps!!! (I lived in hilly southern Ohio.) In winter, I used to have to sit on the steps & scoot my way down, step by step. Any other Midwesterners have childhood memories like that?

An amazing collage! The Hannibal Lectre montage was a tad creepy but kept the intrigue :) Cool vid :)

LA was one of my favorites. Love the early beginnings of towns. Just a few buildings here and there. I love history. In all our towns someone was there before us. Even with buildings dated 1889 or 1920...there was probably a wooded building before that and before that perhaps native Americans. Its just neat to think about and seeing the remnants of a bygone era scattered throughout town. The hall marks and even tool marks on structures by folks long gone. And yet we enjoy the foundations they laid so many years ago.

I'm currently making a video where I drove a portion of route 66 in AZ and I did a few similar shots of a few of the cities...I love looking at the old vs current or fairly current photos...especially if I've taken the current ones. This was cool!

Great video and watching this from the UK. I'm not if things have got better or worse throughout the years. Good to see the Shambles in York not change at all. If you do this kind of video again, places like Todmorden and Sowerby Bridge have hardly changed.

Incredible and so greatly appreciated. Thank you for all that you do😊

The arctic photos at 1:30 were painful to look at

excellent collection and effort to bring back old memories. Good to see the preservation of old buildings in impeccable form with minimum interference. Well done. Keep it up.

when i watch this i remember that i can visit in past and see all those , just being so thankful to God that we have ability to visit our past. it motivates me to meditate even more.

1:07 my favorite because it's personal and besides the buildings you can also see the tree that grew much bigger

I was born in Missouri USA in 1947 so many of these photos look the way things did when I was a kid. I love the nostalgia and a way look back at how things used to be. Seems much friendlier and less sterile than today.

Such captivating images, I can't stop watching! I like the music choice, too.

Pretty cool. I love these vids. And great music too!! Thanks

What a blast from the past. I grew up in the Eglinton and Victoria Park area, even had an apartment at Biggin Court. Certainly wasn't expecting that trip down memory lane from the beginning of this video! Terrific, thank you!

As a ' modern' person I think the medium of photography is an invaluable tool. It captures a richness that the printed word or pictures drawn on a canvas can not. As time marches on comparison photography captures for posterity's sake what is arguably considered progress. My favorite is the most chilling/depressing one......of the Artic. It captures how impactful humans can be on the planet. Why not the atomic dome? Because what arose from the ashes of that horrific event depicts how we can overcome tragedy. So it begs the question, how do we rebuild all that ice..... Right?!

Very well done. It was refreshing to see Canadian images for a change, especially Toronto I shall share with relations there.

Thank you for the photographs of Buckhurst Hill Station reminds me of the 1960's. Central Line is so under appreciated. Grew up in that area.

Love those older pictures...Was hoping you had a pic of Sunnyside, during the 1920s...Where they use to have that Amusement Park in Toronto...I grew up on Sunnyside Avenue from 1963 -2202 and it's a street I'll never forget.

Amazing photos and nicely done. I can’t get enough of now and then.

It's always interesting to see how everything changes and... does not change ! Today in Paris region, more than in XXth century I think, the landscape changes very quickly ; in the very close suburbs of Paris individual houses with gardens are replaced by 4/5 stages buildings and the charming streets becomes ordinary streets. It's life but a bit sad anyway !

I love looking at these changes. I don't know how you matched these places so well, excellent job ! Really fascinating!! I didn't know there was a snow covered mountain range behind Los Angeles.

Most of places seem to look better "earlier" than "now" (excluding the war pics, of course). That's great you have photos of your grandfather and made by him - you're lucky!

Very interesting video up until about 10:50 , then it just became about random suburban streets in Toronto.

Beautiful work. Congratulations! I wonder how these locations will look in 100 years!

It's impressive how time changes everything and alters everything everywhere and in our lives, amazing that some places haven't changed much, but others are unrecognizable.

Well produced. The choice of music complemented the pace of the scene timings which were skilfully edited. A very thoughtful production.

I like them being side by side, a great way to see the differences.

Wow idk why but this made me cry it felt very emotional. This video is art

Thank you for sharing! This is super interesting & amazing indeed!

Bravo! Well done! I love the photo "From Fascism to Kabobs" [@6:13]. A very ironic, but very great illustration of how the world has changed! The best images of all are those you begin with, the photos of yourself in Tokyo, and your grandfather in the same location 100 years ago.

Thank you for putting these comparisons together. What strikes me is how much more SPACE there seemed to be this lifetime ago. There must be some scientific behavioral studies done on this topic. If someone knows, I'd like to know too.

Note on Utecht (02:03 mark) - the moat was transformed into a road for a while, then returned to a moat (the big "canal" that surrounds the city). If you look at a map of the city, you can see it surrounds the old part.

idk why but old pics feel so calm and relaxing

I don't like the blended photos; I'd rather see the side-by-side photos.

I love history. This is one of the most awesome, interesting videos that I've seen.

Wonderful! Emotional time travel is one of my favorite things to do! Two side by side feelings!

@ 6:52 - I was hired to shoot a "green screen photobooth" in this exact Missoula location for a 5k fun run, and used a similar B&W photo to tie the historical image to the modern location. I almost spit out my coffee when I saw your submission.

These are incredible to see. I truly enjoyed these, thank you.

This was really interesting, thank you for taking the time to make it 👍 I'm glad I will not be about to see the next one. So sad for younger people to have never seen the natural beauty in their counties and the older buildings 😢

The background music is so touching and it reminds us how much we lost.

Thank you for including Malaysia in this video 🙏🏽 proud to be a Malaysian and to see how far our economy has grown.

It’s amazing how more things change the more they remain the same (can’t remember who originated this quote). Anyways, the places that are still there and the places that are gone. And the places that have been overdeveloped. McLean Animal Hospital is still there to this day. Thanks so much for the video! Loved seeing the comparisons and contrast and your personal photos too.

The trenches photos were so interesting to see, I would've never thought of how it would evolve

Putting this video together must've been a lot of work. TY for sharing with us.

My great grandfather served in the airforce of china and he used to take these photos i still have a few of them it is nostalgic to see nothing has changed practically

I want to thank men for working their backs off for building this world ❤️

11 minutes of interesting historical photos, followed by 7+ minutes of photos of Victoria Park Avenue which isn't really interesting to anyone who has never been there. Probably should have been two different videos.

You have done a tremendous amount of work to put all this together, going to the very spots and taking new pictures.

How I wish we could go back to the uncomplicated world shown in your old photos (minus the wars of course) Thank you for posting this!

I don't know why I'm feeling nostalgia even though I never been to any of these places

this actually makes me feel alive. i have a bit of eocd and can’t stop thinking of those who were here before us.

Fascinating my brother. I really apreciated your video. Thanks

There is a street view I saw of a road that was rerouted in 2009, the street view of 2008 shows the road still going its original route, but a cut section of forest as well where the new road would go, the intersection was also changed with new traffic lights mounted on metal poles, there also is many buildings that are not yet built on the street view
