→ A 1911 Look at New York

in history •  7 years ago 

A friend just emailed me this video and it is amazing to watch. It is a look at New York City as it was in 1911. Wow!

Now most of us know enough about recent history and have seen enough old photos that we have some idea of what it looked like a century ago, but actually seeing (and hearing) it with your own eyes gives it a new dimension. At least it doe for me. But I really love all these old videos.

Enjoy the video. If interested, stay tuned after the break for some thoughts on a Steemit link blog.


Link Blog

Back when I had my own website, I used to post a few random links everyday or every few days, in the style of http://kottke.org or http://daringfireball.net. Readers seemed to enjoy seeing them.

Maybe I will try doing the same on here. I'll play with the formatting, but for now I think I will put an arrow (→) somewhere in the title, at the end or beginning, to show you guys it is a link post and that you can skip it if such things don't interest you.

Hi thereDavid LaSpina is an American photographer lost in Japan, trying to capture the beauty of this country one photo at a time.
