“Photofusion”: Dublin new & old
You might have seen these type of photo montage where an old photo is mixed with a new one. This is what we decided to try my daughter and myself.
We got the old photos (1961) from Charles W. Cushman, “An American, [who] travelled the world for 30 years, including a visit to Dublin.”.
The 2 photos I decided to work with are of the front of Trinity College and the Bank Of Ireland building. This corner of Dublin has changed a lot in 50 years, more trees, signs, traffic lights,… Anyway, here are the results.

The first one is a polaroid of the old on top of the new. There were too many elements on the photo to manage a different montage.
The second one is a real mix. Some road, pedestrians and 2 modern Dublin Bus are included in the 1961 street view, this is working well.
You can see another “photofusion” by visiting my daughter’s website.
