1906 Earthquake Blended with today
1906 + 2010: The Earthquake Blend by Shawn Clover
After reading San Francisco is Burning, Dennis Smith’s superb book of San Francisco’s reaction to the 1906 earthquake, I got to thinking. What if I could precisely line up photos taken in 1906 with my own and combine the two together? I’ve always been frustrated by typical “then and now” photos because the photographer always seems to do a sloppy job aligning his ’then’ photos with the ‘now’ photos.
A woman opens the door to her Mercedes on Sacramento Street while horses killed by falling rubble lie in the street.
Passing cable cars offer a view of the destruction of California Street. Old St. Marys Cathedral has escaped destruction.

I really appreciate you posting this, I think its wonderful. I have posted a couple of now vs then scenarios after I found dated museum pictures in rural areas I was able to relocate and re-photograph. I loved that project, I should look for another like it...
