20 Then And Now Pics That Showing How Things Has Changed Over Time

Have you ever heard before about rephotography art? If not, let’s explain it to you. Rephotography is the act of reshooting old photos of a place that has already been photographed as accurately as possible, like the original. This is a big challenge for photographers, especially when it comes to old photos of a place popular, because the places often change usually over the years, and finding the exact position where a picture was taken many years ago is a really hard thing.

However, the users of the r/OldPhotosInRealLife subreddit they created an archive of old photos in modern times, proving how time changes things — Check out some great examples of rephotography in the gallery below.
