A Germany centric Then and Now. A bit unusual.

A link for you Goldie. 1922 Kodak colour film footage - a bit of 'cine' history.
"This clip is a very early, full-color Kodachrome film made by Kodak in 1922 to test new film stock and color processing. It is a lovely little four-and-a-half minutes of pretty actresses gesturing for the camera. The color and lighting are exquisite—all warm reds with flattering highlights—making it a purely enjoyable thing to watch."

Although, there may still be a place for film - I was surprised today to see that the DOLLAR store sells disposable film cameras (for $3!).
There are other great Toronto Archive photos of ice skating and harvesting on Grenadier pond.
Just for fun, Goldie.
Then. Wisdom, Montana; in Kodachrome. 1940s.
Now. Presumably, digital.
Then and Now for February 8, 2013.
Then. SE corner of St. Clair and Vaughan. 'Wychwood Branch. The Dominion Bank.' c1920.
Now. August 2012. 92 years of progress in signage.
Nice Montana street, but I'm not convinced that the foreground buildings are one-and-the-same.
This building appears in both images (attached-circled).
Always 'fun' to explore our images in detail - there are often hidden surprises.
I found this picture several years ago before I found this thread. 1st job was at the Kresge store surrounding it.

Then and Now for February 11, 2013. A tidbit of cinema history today.
Then. Hyland Theatre. Opened 1948. It had just closed for good in this picture - June-ish 2001 [Demolished in 2003]. I was just strolling down Yonge that day; tonight I have a reason to use this old photo.
Now. August 2012.
