Seen these?

Sergey Larenkov took some old WWII photos and photoshopped them with modern photos of the exact same locations. Some of them work better than others, but they're worth a look anyway:

Very cool idea, but he is wasting them. The recent pics could be better composed to give a better immersion feel. Maybe he wants the contrast to be highlighted, but that kind of defeats the purspose, IMO.

I couldn't get the last two to open but the first two were worth the wait while they loaded up.

I think that your statement is offensive and off the mark. Perhaps if you had used a less formulaic approach in your obvious hatred of Narubian artists your statements would stand a snowballs chance of holding water.
