somebody talked about the trees but im beggining to wonder if they EVER had sunny days back then. every old picture seemed to be taken on a gray day and when did they start using red clay bricks? did they rebrick all the buildings at oen point?

no flowers trees or anything in the old pictures. just dead greass i guess because of all the cloudy days. it looked like a nuclear holocaust back then.

or maybe they didn't have color film.

11/4/2006 11:09:29 AM

ahah

11/4/2006 1:35:46 PM

hahahah wow

11/4/2006 1:47:56 PM

Brilliant work, Pyro.

I always thought the Campus Traditions page was cool, but lame that they didn't bother to take pictures that would match up...your pics and the slider/fade function are fantastic.

11/4/2006 1:54:58 PM

lol @ hcnguyen

11/4/2006 1:56:42 PM

I wish we could have this much snow again on campus...

at least I think this is snow.... Hard to tell on a Black and White picture

11/4/2006 2:18:26 PM

This is sooo cool. I would totally buy a print of this....I can't believe people are actually leaving compliments either, but how couldn't they because this is so awesome. Do some more!!!!!

11/4/2006 11:36:24 PM

11/4/2006 11:41:58 PM

that's some of the most awesome looking stuff i've seen... I'm sure the university would be interested in it. hell, even ppl on tww are COMPLIMENTING it... that just doesn't happen.

11/5/2006 4:41:06 PM

I took more photos today, some of them good, I'll post them later. There are just too many trees on campus. Should be easier to get shots in the winter.

A better camera with a half dozen different lenses wouldn't hurt either.

11/5/2006 5:38:29 PM

aha "too many trees on campus"

If you want to save any of these, the old photos are

and the new photos are just
http://ace.methodcomputers.com/ghost/images/16.jpg
Or you could use the slider to ghost the two images and then hit Print Screen.

Wow, what a cool site. pictures and the slide bar are awesome.. One suggestion though...How about putting the pics as thumbnails instead of numbers...

14-16 are reeeeeeeallly nice

11/6/2006 1:17:38 PM

14 is sliiiightly off. the original photo isnt take straight on

but 15 and 16 are fuckin sweet

11/6/2006 1:43:09 PM

you need to put omse transparency on the overlayerd pictures.. or at least blend the edges for a smoother transition. maybe ill don one later tonight to show you what i mean if i have time.

11/6/2006 2:31:02 PM

great stuff!

11/6/2006 2:42:15 PM

just cuz they didnt have color film doenst mean everything was in black and white back then. they still had color. color has always been around. they still had color point and red bricks availible. flower still had color good grass was green but obviously none of that at ncstate.

Yea man, do that if you get a chance, I'm not sure I know what you mean. If I was photoshopping these for public display I'd probably chop out the sky and such so objects in the foreground really looked like they were floating in place.

11/6/2006 4:34:36 PM

awesome. can't wait to see more.

one suggestion that is probably impossible or at least very unlikely is if you could find multiple pictures from the same location and lay them overtop of one another. so instead of 2 (1919 and 2006) you have a few more (1919, 1947, 1982, 2006). i'm sure that would be very hard to locate older pictures with the same view.

very cool though.

11/6/2006 5:33:31 PM

awesome stuff man

11/6/2006 5:57:23 PM

yeah, i'd like to go back in time and beat the shit out of whoever thought it would be a good idea to take that out of the courtyard.

11/6/2006 7:03:21 PM

they recycled the canon for a scrap drive during WW2

11/6/2006 7:11:26 PM

11/6/2006 7:13:54 PM

ya feel me?

11/6/2006 7:17:17 PM

this is really cool. i was thinking it wouldbe cool tohave the newer pics in black and white, but the color to black and white is still pretty cool.

11/6/2006 8:05:05 PM

hey pyro your site doesnt work in opera

but does work in mozilla

Pretty much impossible. I'm actually trying to stand in the same place, yet for every photo I post here I'm trashing a dozen that don't line up worth a damn, even after some massaging with photochop.

^^I like the idea of switching to all black and white. I think many people see old B&W photos and then immediately associate it with the creepy past, rather than seeing the subjects as people just like them that are walking in the exact same places and doing the exact same things.

(Actually, willie probably doesn't know enough javascript to actually fix it, but he'll give it a shot.)

11/6/2006 9:39:48 PM

incredible work, keep it up

11/6/2006 11:59:31 PM

yeah the fader script def is what you needed. the only thing is you might wanna add a comment above the pic for all the old non-technically-savy fuckers that would probably want to see these pics

11/7/2006 12:08:31 AM

guys, when i get time i will make a bunch of these...

11/7/2006 12:28:42 AM

please dont, hcnguyen

Holy shit. I just checked and my site used up 200gigs of bandwidth in less than a week. The photos average about 150kb a piece. In other words, that's ALOT of hits. I shut things down until I figure out how much this is going to cost me.

I don't blame you guys, I think this is probably the problem:
