Comparison • Both pictures feature the Verrazano Bridge• The left picture shows a different perspective
of the bridge from the opposite side.• The right picture is shrouded in fog and looks
dated due to the filter, but is actually recent. The bridge has been a part of New York since it opened in 1964.

Comparison• The photo on the left shows the Barclays
Center as a functioning, booming concert venue with bright lights and excitement that it brings to the area of Downtown Brooklyn
• The photo on the right shows the venue still in the early stages of its construction. The area is on the precipice of a major turnaround. That traffic is about to get a lot worse. It’s an Arial view. Things are looking up.

comparison• These two photos show significant historical
differences. The left picture shows the Flatiron Building as it is being constructed over a century ago. Only trees mainly fill in the shot
• The picture on the right is current and it shows the district, now known as the Flatiron District, buzzing with traffic and populated with other buildings.

comparison• These photos show the drastic
commercialization of Times Square in NYC from an area with simply the NY Times Tower and surrounding buildings into an area of bright lights, advertisements, and video screens.
