A creative new use for historical images

I’ve always enjoyed seeing images of scenes now and then, and in fact hope to take a trip to Charleston before winter to do the same with some old Civil War images.  Sergey Larenkov has used this technique and added a twist, creating ghost-like images by overlaying parts of old images over the new.  The results are surreal and striking, I urge you to check out his blog here.

This was a stereo image, but only half was scanned in.  Wish I had the other side, might make a cool animation.
