I am late to the game on this great site (and internet phenomenon) that encourages people to send in new pictures having inserted an old one from the same spot. Kids change so quickly, I do find myself getting nostalgic for events that were just a year or two ago. The boy in this photograph is all grown up with two kids of his own.
What a wonderful idea – an interesting way to track time and changes in the landscape and architecture around us.

I had a chance to check out the Impossible Project Space on Lower Broadway. I arrived just wanting to pick up a few rolls of film, but found they had a wide variety for a bunch of shooting situations. Because I’m doing a Polaroid project with the kiddies, I opted for their White Label brand ($13/roll).
They also have a few different reissues of Polaroid cameras and even a Polaroid track jacket (for the truly Polaroid passionate).
It’s worth a visit to see the range of Polaroids presented from a mix of international artists like Grant Hamilton, Jake Chessum, Laura Watt, Heather Champ and 20 others.
The curators are super friendly and, naturally, passionate about all things Polaroid. It’s worth a visit if you are in NYC and ready for some instant gratification.
425 Broadway – take the elevator to the fifth floor. Take the stairs down. The elevator is really sluggish.

Patrick Runte has a series of classic videogame-into-real-life photos that depict Pong, Pac Man, Space Invaders, Tetris and others. Some of the photos are not entirely kid friendly, so be careful if surfing with the kiddies. (via Notcot)
