Hi everyone. Here's a side-by-side version of this video, if you want to have time to study old versus new: ua-cam.com/video/5mjOdBpDxZU/v-deo.html. Thanks for watching.
@@boobsthechemist2067 True, I am tried of video games. I want to play street games, but people don't play it anymore. There is only fortnite, roblox, and all that shit. I want to play something that's actually in real life. Not in a screen of pixels.
Hi everyone! Three things: 1. This project has an extended look documentary: ua-cam.com/video/U083YeeTOvE/v-deo.html. 2. Even bigger, my documentary "The Sidewalks of New York" is out now, and if you love New York history you will adore the story in the film: ua-cam.com/video/hXM-g-UAJiA/v-deo.html. 3. I plan on making another New York film. If you'd like to support me, you can simply shop on Amazon with this link: amzn.to/2tXeffU. Or you can send donations to my Paypal or Venmo accounts at the email address jordanliles@gmail.com. The more money I make, the more old photographs I can purchase to use in documentaries! Thank you so much for watching my films. I really do appreciate all of you and your kindness.
Hi Experimental Fun. I know this is a reply long in the making but you might like this version of the video much better. Let me know if you see this comment! ua-cam.com/video/5mjOdBpDxZU/v-deo.html
I am a lifetime historian and I must admit that I never really considered how much Brainerd contributed to early photography. I am also a lifelong equestrian and believe a then and now picture with all the myriad of draught animals that once provided the motive power for such a marvelous city, would be absolutely wonderful. I live on a ranch in rural New Mexico and most of my daily chores are not any different from the 1880s. I realize how truly foreign this seems whenever I talk with more urban dwellers. You know how amazed folks are with your time travel, amaze them a bit more with horses, fancy carriage turnouts, goat-drawn Governess carts, milk boys with dog, pulled sleds. etc. etc. You can't really go back in time, but there are an amazing amount of folks who still evoke an earlier time in the present, and they aren't aren't all Amish and named Yoder! thanks
Thank you for watching my film! Two quick things. 1. If you wanted more time to see the before and after photos, or you wish the transitions went from old to new, check out this alternate video: ua-cam.com/video/U083YeeTOvE/v-deo.html. And 2. My latest documentary "The Sidewalks of New York" is a deeper New York history film that starts slow, but if you stick with it you'll see how it builds in a big way, and it's free and on UA-cam! I spent a year on it: ua-cam.com/video/hXM-g-UAJiA/v-deo.html.
Hi Juahir. You'll like the documentary! It takes a slower look at the photos, old to new and new to old. See here: ua-cam.com/video/U083YeeTOvE/v-deo.html.
He was awesome and so are you. I lived ten years in Manhattan, the whole time reading history and walking, walking, walking. I had no allies in the 80's. Now, through the internet, I discover that I finally have friends. --- Paul, Asheville/Black Mountain NC.

To all the comments saying "WOW they're all dead now" please understand the people in this video did not live meaningless lives just because they aren't alive anymore. They had children remember? They fought in World War 1, World War 2, they are our legacy and without them we would not be here! Instead of feeling bad for them "because they're dead" feel bad for yourself because it's YOUR turn now to take the torch and keep the world running.
Also, ( you will understand if you are a Religius person), just remember that no one is ever really gone. Tho the fact you stated above is more important.
Give them a break, m8. It's actually fairly normal to have most of them experience the concept of time through something so powerful and wonderful. You might have had a prior experience but for them this could be the first time that induce that awe in them understanding how melancholic yet beautiful time is.
Look at the architecture and beauty of the buildings and monuments back then,the craftsmanship and skill compared to the ugly shit we build these days.
@@velociraptor3097 Not really, back then people took pride in their architectural work and designed beautiful designs but nowadays people just design buildings just for business. Nothing more nothing less, so they don't put that kind of heart into their work as opposed as people did in the past.
4:12min. The arch on the left! As for me, it is from the Ancient world, which was built by another civilization! Do you have any facts about the construction of this arch with a memorial? If there is, then please lay out some stage of construction.

I agree. We do tend to idealize the past and forget about the poor health, racism and sexism that were so common place--but oh my god the grand architecture of some of civic buildings! That is something that is totally lost and will never come again. Plus middle class people didn't dress like slobs then either. Had to laugh at the black family at the beach in dress shoes and hats. We are so much better off today, but the esthetic/cultural ideal is gone.
Does anyone receive a chill down their backs seeing this...knowing where your walking someone else was on the exact spot over 100 years ago,and now just a spirit !
I rarely log into any site to leave a comment. I'm a nit-picker, so I tend to keep my online thoughts to myself. This video compelled me to log in so that I could congratulate the creator(s). The transitions are so precise inside of the gentle zoom that every one of them felt like opening a present at a party just for me. I clap for you!
Thank you so much. A lot of people complain that I didn't do a side-by-side version. I eventually did and it's available in the description if you also want to see that. Have a good day!
It's so great that photography was invented in the 19th century. It gives us a final glimpse into a way of life that had existed for hundreds of years but was rapidly disappearing.
@bgarr99...the photographers of that era, particularly AJ Russell of the UP, Alfred Hart of CPRR, and Charles Savage of SLC, labored under difficulties we can only imagine and contemplate in wonderment. When we study the collodian wet-plate technique, juxtaposed with primitive conditions out West, A.J. Russell in particular, comes across as a superb, tenacious, technician. His large format exposures are masterpieces. They were rediscovered in the 1950's and later. Barry Colms, and the Oakland Museum in 1969, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the "Wedding of the Rails", published a book of A.J's photos in their original format, with descriptions. It's title is "Westward to Promontory", and is readily available. Another book, recently written, is Daniel Davis' "Across the Continent", a deep dive into Andrew Russell and his life. A good and fascinating read into a frontier photographer's life, and travails. Thanks.
NEW SIDE-BY-SIDE VERSION OF THIS VIDEO IS AVAILABLE HERE: ua-cam.com/video/5mjOdBpDxZU/v-deo.html. Also, please join this channel to help fund my future documentary videos about old New York: ua-cam.com/channels/pkARz4a6YE6rFUrZfRqOWQ.htmljoin. If you want to help preserve history, it's what I do!
I absolutely love all the old black and white pictures, what people wore, what life was like what streets were like and how things have changed since then
Every single one of these people lead lives of their own. They loved they laughed cried experienced pain loss but also joy. All of it lost to the sands of time forgotten temporary. It humbles you in a way knowing that that one day will be all of our fates . So I say why not march forward and live life to the fullest because this is all we get.
Whenever I look at old pictures it just makes me feel like I missed so much sometimes makes me feel how different it was back then. I'd love to travel in time and walk the streets they walked .
Great job man! I've seen so many of these where the guys go to all the trouble to revisit the location but don't match the framing, focal length etc. This is a perfect job. A1!
I love this video. I really appreciate the fading. Crazy watching buildings disappear and nature take over. Thank you so much for this! And the music made it so peaceful.
Yes. Yes you are THE ONLY ONE! Think about that. Now think about the many highly educated people who do things like....write history books and actually read old books and articles of the period. Think of all the history classes there are in universities and the professors who teach them. Yeah.... YOU’RE the only one!
If you had to ask that question... You probably knew the answer. You did a fantastic job with this video. Well done. But yeah. It's just a little too fast. (And you've corrected it. Gettin spoiled already.) Thanks, Jordan.
You can learn more about the buildings and monuments, and even some of the people in the photos, when you watch the extended look documentary: ua-cam.com/video/U083YeeTOvE/v-deo.html. I highly suggest it!
It's nice to see how well-dressed people were back then. Today people go out in their yoga pants, ripped jeans, t-shirts even pajamas and slippers! They look like homeless people compared to back then. Even homeless people back then dressed nicer than people today!
The pictures of everyone on the ice really says something about how overly cautious and scared of everything we are today that we no longer allow ourselves to explore and be free to take risks and enjoy life to the fullest. Theres no way the city would let people just walk around on a frozen lake today they'd be afraid of getting sued.
That’s not sad. They lived their lives. For me, it’s a good reminder that the hardships in this life will end. If you have Jesus in this life, there’s a blessed assurance of eternal life after our human bodies die. I don’t like life on earth.
Makes me think of all the people that came before us and come after us. I grew up in an old house, and many families lived there before me. People were born in the house I lived in, my mother died there. One day my family will never live there again and some other family will live there. Reminds me of the fact that you will never truly own any physical thing in this world. The only thing we have is our time.
Boot Indeed, human evolution has truly expanded and will continue to do so until we all eliminate each other due to power and greed, however everything else will remain the same as simply a relic within history that will one day be replaced by future occurrences that will simply approach us as the present day.
Fidelio Thanks. Some people wish that I would have shown the old photos first and then the new photos. Stuff like that. But I do wish the people who downvote would realize the amount of work it took not only to shoot these photographs (both me and especially Brainerd), but also to research the original photographer and create the longer half-hour video that is also available on UA-cam. But UA-cam is UA-cam. I'm ok with criticism and can take it.
It's easy to romanticize the past. But don't forget how cruel life was back then. People worked 70-80 hours per week, that's twice as much as now and it was mostly hard physical labour. Education was poor, healthcare even poorer. People had more kids because they lost half of them before they turned 10. Oh and if your skin was black back then everything would be 10x harder.
@@pietheijn-vo1gt Or if your skin was brown. Or if you were Asian. Or a woman. Or Irish. Or non-Protestant Christian. (You couldn't be Catholic, or they'd burn your church down.) Or poor. Or heaven forbid, gay!
Mark L there was litter in a different form. If you walked out of a building into the street, you had to watch that you didn't step in a big pile of high quality horse manure, lol!
I want to go back in time! I would love to see how everything was built. We take everything for granted nowadays. It looked simpler and better back then.
Pitje Puck, stop being a spoiled prick! Would you rather work from 5 in the morning ‘til 8 in the evening where you have to work hard in a factory and rarely earn enough money? Well guess what, that’s what people did back then, they had to work their freaking butts off just to earn a few cash!
These photos prove my point when everyone is keeps saying that New York City is dead. The point is; You're wrong. Cities like New York never die. They only change. For better or worse.
People are hating on our modern world, ignoring all the progress we've made. I am sure that if they do manage to go back to the late 1800's they would beg to come back.
Love the now and then comparisons... I found it really interesting to see how many areas have evolved and it was a fascinating insight to long gone times.
If you feel like you needed more time to view the photos, watch this longer video: ua-cam.com/video/U083YeeTOvE/v-deo.html. It's a documentary about how this film was made! Please thumbs up this comment so others will see it. Thanks!
Aside from medicine, technology and the progression in morality of the modern world, the past was aesthetically superior. Everything from clothes to architecture had a close attention to detail. Now everything is created for the masses and therefore loses the touch of beauty and authenticity.
I agree with that as well. I think it really depends where you look though. Yes, the news focuses mostly on the bad but some people live in places and or neighbourhoods in relative peace. There is no perfection to be reached but I think if you look in different places you'll find different results.
Filming isn't panoramic, so you don't always get the full picture. The dirty side of life wasn't recorded because the film maker probably didn't think it was interesting or maybe out of fear of getting his camera equipment robbed from him. New York was plagued with brothels , saloons and other dens of iniquities. People In poorer neighborhoods are superstitious and don't like cameras pointed at them , especially criminals and prositutes.
What a huge difference... No cars. More people, walking through the streets... So beautiful 😍👌👍 but times change.. People change, technology change.... Everything change the world 🌍 😍💙 so spiritual.
This video is outstanding! It is an inspiration for myself as I'm collecting information to do a video of this kind. When I see all the thumbs down, I have no choice but remember my beloved grandmother when used to say: "The only place where the majority of the people will say good things about you, it's at the funeral home..."
I feel bad for kids crying about how today isn't the 1800s. Can't people be thankful? I highly doubt any of these people would last 3 days in the 1800s. I would pay to see these guys be born back then.
Our life goes by without us knowing how fleeting our existence is. Soon the passions, desires and emotions that nested in our hearts will be forgotten. Maybe someone will capture an image and we will be remembered in the future, but it is the only thing left in this world of us.
For those of you who think the clip is going too fast: Everybody!! All you have to do is control the pause (pause then play); this will permit you to study as buildings slowly disappear. Simply amazing and expertly compiled. Thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like this one because I can control what I see as the older buildings superimpose upon the newer ones and or remain the same. Love it!!!!!!!!!!! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Didn't mean to get so excited.
Apart from modern medicine the greatest gift to mankind is the ability to capture the past so that we might look into it & for a second become a part of it..
Hi everyone. Here's a side-by-side version of this video, if you want to have time to study old versus new: ua-cam.com/video/5mjOdBpDxZU/v-deo.html. Thanks for watching.

Hi everyone! Three things:
1. This project has an extended look documentary: ua-cam.com/video/U083YeeTOvE/v-deo.html.
2. Even bigger, my documentary "The Sidewalks of New York" is out now, and if you love New York history you will adore the story in the film: ua-cam.com/video/hXM-g-UAJiA/v-deo.html.
3. I plan on making another New York film. If you'd like to support me, you can simply shop on Amazon with this link: amzn.to/2tXeffU. Or you can send donations to my Paypal or Venmo accounts at the email address jordanliles@gmail.com. The more money I make, the more old photographs I can purchase to use in documentaries!
Thank you so much for watching my films. I really do appreciate all of you and your kindness.

Hi Experimental Fun. I know this is a reply long in the making but you might like this version of the video much better. Let me know if you see this comment! ua-cam.com/video/5mjOdBpDxZU/v-deo.html
I like how the present photographer stood in almost the exact same spot as the historical photographers. It really puts the images into perspective.
I totally agree.
It gives me the chills to watch videos like this and see how time goes by without noticing it. Thanks for uploading.
Enjoy the little things, enjoy each moment, because in 100 years from now we will be in one of these videos.
😇🌞🙏

If you wanted more time to see the before and after photos, or you wish the transitions went from old to new, check out this alternate video: ua-cam.com/video/U083YeeTOvE/v-deo.html. And 2. My latest documentary "The Sidewalks of New York" is a deeper New York history film that starts slow, but if you stick with it you'll see how it builds in a big way, and it's free and on UA-cam! I spent a year on it: ua-cam.com/video/hXM-g-UAJiA/v-deo.html.
I recognize this music. Is it from a Broadway musical?
Hi you should show old one first than new picture.
This makes me go back into live
Hi Juahir. You'll like the documentary! It takes a slower look at the photos, old to new and new to old. See here: ua-cam.com/video/U083YeeTOvE/v-deo.html.
Jordan Liles I'm born 1873had to see .gosh time fly's then returns .
I've lived here many years. Seeing this was a reminder of how time passes, and I pass with the time. Thank you for this wonderful compilation.
Thanks everyone. Also check out my favorite part of this project - the behind the scenes documentary! ua-cam.com/video/U083YeeTOvE/v-deo.html
He was awesome and so are you. I lived ten years in Manhattan, the whole time reading history and walking, walking, walking. I had no allies in the 80's. Now, through the internet, I discover that I finally have friends. --- Paul, Asheville/Black Mountain NC.
Jordan.
You messed up.
First you should show the old picture. The new picture comes after the old.
You did it "drawkcab".
If you want a longer look at the photos, check out the longer documentary here: ua-cam.com/video/U083YeeTOvE/v-deo.html. I hope you like it!
Some people are asking for a slower video, which is here: ua-cam.com/video/U083YeeTOvE/v-deo.html. Others want to know the locations of the photos. Here ya go:

will be nice to see old photo 1st and then swap to new one
Hi LordX. Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/U083YeeTOvE/v-deo.html.
www.faithfreedom.org/sinas-challenge/
@@vivek-zo2yy Good news. They're the same places!
@@vivek-zo2yy Some of the buildings still remain. The Brooklyn Bridge is a monument to the times.
Wow it’s so cool that most of the photos you get to see the trees as babies or young and now adults! It’s nice that they’re still there! ❤️
To all the comments saying "WOW they're all dead now" please understand the people in this video did not live meaningless lives just because they aren't alive anymore. They had children remember? They fought in World War 1, World War 2, they are our legacy and without them we would not be here! Instead of feeling bad for them "because they're dead" feel bad for yourself because it's YOUR turn now to take the torch and keep the world running.
Also, ( you will understand if you are a Religius person), just remember that no one is ever really gone.
Tho the fact you stated above is more important.
Give them a break, m8. It's actually fairly normal to have most of them experience the concept of time through something so powerful and wonderful. You might have had a prior experience but for them this could be the first time that induce that awe in them understanding how melancholic yet beautiful time is.
It's amazing how photography can allow you to look back into the past
Pity it didn't exist sooner, any earlier comparisons with have to be compared with paintings if any existed on the subject at all.
Look at the architecture and beauty of the buildings and monuments back then,the craftsmanship and skill compared to the ugly shit we build these days.
Nah, modern buildings look better than old ugly ones.
@@velociraptor3097 Not really, back then people took pride in their architectural work and designed beautiful designs but nowadays people just design buildings just for business. Nothing more nothing less, so they don't put that kind of heart into their work as opposed as people did in the past.
@@LucidVision138 Bruh they dont care about pride they also do it for business, most of old structures are less durable and less advanced than today.
@Baked Beans 🙏🌞😇
Americans has dont have respect to Old buildings
NEW side-by-side version available here: ua-cam.com/video/5mjOdBpDxZU/v-deo.html
I wonder how many of these trees from the past are in the present...
Yes! Beautifully done. Thanks!
4:12min. The arch on the left! As for me, it is from the Ancient world, which was built by another civilization! Do you have any facts about the construction of this arch with a memorial? If there is, then please lay out some stage of construction.

Pttggggg
It's hard to put into words but it's mind-blowing to think of who else stood exactly where you are standing... 100+ years ago.
what hits me is that every person you see in the old photos are now dead
Every 100 years, all new people.
they are here right now, time is a wheel
@@SuperBlobsterMan show us, pray tell
@@josephobrien9008 true but not always the case, there’s still atleast less than 10 ppl who survive with a hundred yrs old
When I watch these I feel less stressed in the old photos. Like I could relax easier and not feel rushed or pressured.
Notice how everything looked nicer back then and all the beautiful stuff is just leftover from a better time.
I agree. We do tend to idealize the past and forget about the poor health, racism and sexism that were so common place--but oh my god the grand architecture of some of civic buildings! That is something that is totally lost and will never come again. Plus middle class people didn't dress like slobs then either. Had to laugh at the black family at the beach in dress shoes and hats. We are so much better off today, but the esthetic/cultural ideal is gone.
Claire de Lune is so fitting a piece for this beautiful presentation. Old New York was so beautiful.
Does anyone receive a chill down their backs seeing this...knowing where your walking someone else was on the exact spot over 100 years ago,and now just a spirit !
I rarely log into any site to leave a comment. I'm a nit-picker, so I tend to keep my online thoughts to myself. This video compelled me to log in so that I could congratulate the creator(s). The transitions are so precise inside of the gentle zoom that every one of them felt like opening a present at a party just for me. I clap for you!
Thank you so much. A lot of people complain that I didn't do a side-by-side version. I eventually did and it's available in the description if you also want to see that. Have a good day!
This makes me feel things that I don't know how to explain...

Yeah me too i feel it
Life is a vapor, here one moment, gone the next. Use your time wisely.
Really , I was, but now this pandemic has interrupted my flow.
It's so great that photography was invented in the 19th century. It gives us a final glimpse into a way of life that had existed for hundreds of years but was rapidly disappearing.
@bgarr99...the photographers of that era, particularly AJ Russell of the UP, Alfred Hart of CPRR, and Charles Savage of SLC, labored under difficulties we can only imagine and contemplate in wonderment. When we study the collodian wet-plate technique, juxtaposed with primitive conditions out West, A.J. Russell in particular, comes across as a superb, tenacious, technician. His large format exposures are masterpieces. They were rediscovered in the 1950's and later. Barry Colms, and the Oakland Museum in 1969, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the "Wedding of the Rails", published a book of A.J's photos in their original format, with descriptions. It's title is "Westward to Promontory", and is readily available. Another book, recently written, is Daniel Davis' "Across the Continent", a deep dive into Andrew Russell and his life. A good and fascinating read into a frontier photographer's life, and travails. Thanks.
@@darrellborland119 Your knowledge is impressive. Thank you for the recommendations. I'll definitely check them out.
Yep, all those statues around from 1873-2014 have been torn down in 2020-21. History is just so inconvenient to the narrative.
It’s amazing how some of these structures are still standing.
They're renewed
What an amazingly short adventure this thing called life is.

Aoa great bfoll NYC Masha Allah sir God bless you
I absolutely love all the old black and white pictures, what people wore, what life was like what streets were like and how things have changed since then
Every single one of these people lead lives of their own. They loved they laughed cried experienced pain loss but also joy. All of it lost to the sands of time forgotten temporary. It humbles you in a way knowing that that one day will be all of our fates . So I say why not march forward and live life to the fullest because this is all we get.
That words
This took a lot of planning, work and time. Thank you for this journey from our present time and into our history. Very nicely done.
it looks sad... that someday.. i die and fade like these pictures
+Anya Lopez But not yet. Not yet. Go live.
Jordan Liles great video
Anya Lopez but 1873 that time was nice . i wish i was live in that time .
PEACE AND LOVE me too
how depressing
Whenever I look at old pictures it just makes me feel like I missed so much sometimes makes me feel how different it was back then. I'd love to travel in time and walk the streets they walked .
Never forget the generations of people whose work built the places where you live.
we're living on the shoulders of them
These old photos bring the most genuine natural smile to my face wow i definitely wish i was in these times im in love with those days
Hello Adam. How are you doing now?
@@michealfrosh8216 i am awesome thank you very much just binging on the perfect times lol hows it going
Great job man! I've seen so many of these where the guys go to all the trouble to revisit the location but don't match the framing, focal length etc. This is a perfect job. A1!
Have to agree here, most just go back to the places but don't care to be in the footsteps of the photograph
Kenny Evans. How do you match focalength?
I love this video. I really appreciate the fading. Crazy watching buildings disappear and nature take over. Thank you so much for this! And the music made it so peaceful.
Am I the only one that's fascinated with the late 1800s?
No I am too :)
Me too!
Like, I'd back in time if I could!
That's why there's Steampunk
Yes. Yes you are THE ONLY ONE!
Think about that.
Now think about the many highly educated people who do things like....write history books and actually read old books and articles of the period. Think of all the history classes there are in universities and the professors who teach them.
Yeah.... YOU’RE the only one!
It’s amazing to see some trees starting off as baby and there still here now! Excellent video
I am glad N.Y saved so many of their old buildings.
Do the pictures go by too fast? Watch the new side-by-side version here: ua-cam.com/video/5mjOdBpDxZU/v-deo.html
If you had to ask that question... You probably knew the answer.
You did a fantastic job with this video. Well done.
But yeah. It's just a little too fast. (And you've corrected it. Gettin spoiled already.)
Thanks, Jordan.
I enjoy looking at these old pictures,but I also get sad looking at them
So crazy how much some of those buildings and monuments have seen. If only they could talk.
Building: yeah a lot of people jumped off me in 29
in4mous_cool lol
You can learn more about the buildings and monuments, and even some of the people in the photos, when you watch the extended look documentary: ua-cam.com/video/U083YeeTOvE/v-deo.html. I highly suggest it!
if the monuments could talk theyd probably say some racist shit!
It's amazing how we youngsters take things for granted. Back then, they didn't even have half the stuff we got.
This made me homesick for Brooklyn Heights. Moved away in 2011. It is a great neighborhood and I miss it. Wonderful photos. Thank you.
People were living their life just like you, but they're long gone...
And someday we will - also - "cross the river". It's part of life!
It's nice to see how well-dressed people were back then. Today people go out in their yoga pants, ripped jeans, t-shirts even pajamas and slippers! They look like homeless people compared to back then. Even homeless people back then dressed nicer than people today!
Doesn't keep their expression from being shitty.
Jeff Grant Umm t-shirts are now considered a homeless look???
TEST Why you say that to my face @sshole and we'll see how much of a tough person you are. Go back to living in your camper van fuck face.
Fashion changes we just like simplier things instead of a big ass beaver jacket we would rather wear a slim fit jacket and some skinny pants
Well that escalated quickly. You went from a real gentleman to a douchebag real fast lmao.
The pictures of everyone on the ice really says something about how overly cautious and scared of everything we are today that we no longer allow ourselves to explore and be free to take risks and enjoy life to the fullest. Theres no way the city would let people just walk around on a frozen lake today they'd be afraid of getting sued.
I love looking at old pictures then you realise that the people who are in the old photos are sadly no longer with here.
That’s not sad. They lived their lives. For me, it’s a good reminder that the hardships in this life will end. If you have Jesus in this life, there’s a blessed assurance of eternal life after our human bodies die. I don’t like life on earth.
Whats very cool to me is when you see the small trees a hundred years ago and now how big they got since then. Great Video.
Makes me think of all the people that came before us and come after us. I grew up in an old house, and many families lived there before me. People were born in the house I lived in, my mother died there. One day my family will never live there again and some other family will live there. Reminds me of the fact that you will never truly own any physical thing in this world. The only thing we have is our time.
Boot Indeed, human evolution has truly expanded and will continue to do so until we all eliminate each other due to power and greed, however everything else will remain the same as simply a relic within history that will one day be replaced by future occurrences that will simply approach us as the present day.
Boot you really got me thinking
Boot you got literally got me crying..😥😭

Thank you.
Greetings from Milan, Italy.
I can't fathom why anyone would downvote this. Fantastic archive. It's not suppose to be Star Wars or anything.
Fidelio Thanks. Some people wish that I would have shown the old photos first and then the new photos. Stuff like that. But I do wish the people who downvote would realize the amount of work it took not only to shoot these photographs (both me and especially Brainerd), but also to research the original photographer and create the longer half-hour video that is also available on UA-cam. But UA-cam is UA-cam. I'm ok with criticism and can take it.
Jordan Liles I can see the amount if work that went into this. I, for one, appreciate the effort. Very introspective. Bravo.
I'm a very nostalgic person this makes me feel sad
Mauricio Vazquez Me to, I miss those days. Much less crowded and it was cheaper to get a bottle of milk from the local stores. I miss the short lines.
Shows that life is indeed short and we must enjoy every minute!
An outstanding video production. Beautiful and mesmerizing. Well done!
No litter, no cars, no skyscrapers, no kids glued to their cellphones. A little slice of heaven :)
I'll see what I can do ;)
It's easy to romanticize the past. But don't forget how cruel life was back then. People worked 70-80 hours per week, that's twice as much as now and it was mostly hard physical labour. Education was poor, healthcare even poorer. People had more kids because they lost half of them before they turned 10. Oh and if your skin was black back then everything would be 10x harder.
@@pietheijn-vo1gt Or if your skin was brown. Or if you were Asian. Or a woman. Or Irish. Or non-Protestant Christian. (You couldn't be Catholic, or they'd burn your church down.) Or poor. Or heaven forbid, gay!
There was litter.
Mark L there was litter in a different form. If you walked out of a building into the street, you had to watch that you didn't step in a big pile of high quality horse manure, lol!
I’d rather live in the 1870’s.
A day in that world is worth a year in ours.
Beautiful buildings for sure. I made a side-by-side version, if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/5mjOdBpDxZU/v-deo.html.

God Bless you,dear......
You made a great video Seeing it brings back old memories How did people live before Thank you so much God bless you Amen
The City without the motor vehicles so beauty, old lovely Town...
But so plenty poor people on that time
I want to go back in time! I would love to see how everything was built. We take everything for granted nowadays. It looked simpler and better back then.
Me too
Pitje Puck, stop being a spoiled prick! Would you rather work from 5 in the morning ‘til 8 in the evening where you have to work hard in a factory and rarely earn enough money? Well guess what, that’s what people did back then, they had to work their freaking butts off just to earn a few cash!
Me too
How are you kat ?
Another romanticizer.
2019 anybody?
yeah
Nope! I’m 1986!
That was SO AMAZING! I could watch them all day. Would've liked it a bit slower on the black and whites, though. Thanks!
These photos prove my point when everyone is keeps saying that New York City is dead. The point is; You're wrong. Cities like New York never die. They only change. For better or worse.
Actually it is tho
People are hating on our modern world, ignoring all the progress we've made.
I am sure that if they do manage to go back to the late 1800's they would beg to come back.
Ikr
I feel sad because the people in new photos will never meet the people who walked in the same place in the past.
I thought "Crazy how these people were liveing in the moment but that moments gone now and so are they"
Love the now and then comparisons... I found it really interesting to see how many areas have evolved and it was a fascinating insight to long gone times.
I wonder what photos of now will look like when compared to photos from the future.
i will never look at an old building the same
I feel like crying watching this.
Everything was more beautiful back then
This was wonderful. And may I add special thanks for having my favorite musical composition of all time playing throughout.
Thanks Judith. Also check out the slower and newer side-by-side version here: ua-cam.com/video/5mjOdBpDxZU/v-deo.html.
I wish these were side by side, as they are in the thumbnail. Still a mesmerizing video you've made, thanks for your beautiful work!
Thanks! The documentary gives a much longer look at the photographs if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/U083YeeTOvE/v-deo.html. Enjoy!
Fascinating 🧐 And sad that those times and people are gone! 😐
My favorite thing to do with these kinds of videos is to look at the trees and see how big some have gotten.
Wow. Such portrayal of exquisite elegance and nostalgia. Thank you.
If you feel like you needed more time to view the photos, watch this longer video: ua-cam.com/video/U083YeeTOvE/v-deo.html. It's a documentary about how this film was made! Please thumbs up this comment so others will see it. Thanks!
Jordan Liles you're cute
Aside from medicine, technology and the progression in morality of the modern world, the past was aesthetically superior. Everything from clothes to architecture had a close attention to detail. Now everything is created for the masses and therefore loses the touch of beauty and authenticity.
I agree with that as well. I think it really depends where you look though. Yes, the news focuses mostly on the bad but some people live in places and or neighbourhoods in relative peace. There is no perfection to be reached but I think if you look in different places you'll find different results.
Filming isn't panoramic, so you don't always get the full picture. The dirty side of life wasn't recorded because the film maker probably didn't think it was interesting or maybe out of fear of getting his camera equipment robbed from him.
New York was plagued with brothels , saloons and other dens of iniquities.
People In poorer neighborhoods are superstitious and don't like cameras pointed at them , especially criminals and prositutes.
I wish I have the power to go back in time.
Yeah your correct and I will be there at old years
Thanks for this. God bless your work 130 years!
We will all be forgotten
Eventually. :(
But never completely...
Leave behind some good and the universe will remember you.
It's so interesting to see how things have changed. :)
Thanks! For anyone who would like a longer look at the photos, check out the short documentary film: ua-cam.com/video/U083YeeTOvE/v-deo.html.
What a huge difference... No cars. More people, walking through the streets... So beautiful 😍👌👍 but times change.. People change, technology change.... Everything change the world 🌍 😍💙 so spiritual.
Adam Anderson like Scissors
Why are people talk about olden times were better. Have we forgotten that we fought a bloody civil war that left thousands maimed, crippled and dead?
This video is outstanding! It is an inspiration for myself as I'm collecting information to do a video of this kind. When I see all the thumbs down, I have no choice but remember my beloved grandmother when used to say: "The only place where the majority of the people will say good things about you, it's at the funeral home..."
I feel bad for kids crying about how today isn't the 1800s. Can't people be thankful? I highly doubt any of these people would last 3 days in the 1800s. I would pay to see these guys be born back then.
Shut up lol
@@mephistopheles7545 today is a lot better than back then, you didn't know anything dumb everyone on that photos would do anything to live like us.
Psyhco path uhm I know that ? Lmao
this comment doesn't make sense
I was born to late for this time.... and I am trying so hard to have a healthy life right now
this is great, but the old shots are too short
+BrooklynPerson30000 I agree
+BrooklynPerson30000 I made this documentary for those who want a longer look: ua-cam.com/video/U083YeeTOvE/v-deo.html. I hope you enjoy it!
BrooklynPerson30000 --deadly diarrhea? Now we have liberals
Now we have Republicans with "Alternative Facts'
+David Gibbard uhhhhh, huh-huh.. like,.. what?.. uhhh-huh-huh-huh, huh-huh..
Our life goes by without us knowing how fleeting our existence is. Soon the passions, desires and emotions that nested in our hearts will be forgotten. Maybe someone will capture an image and we will be remembered in the future, but it is the only thing left in this world of us.
Outstanding blending of old and today mixing. As an ex-Brooklynite.... I was amazed with before and now photos.
Thank you so much for watching.
I wish that you’d put the pics side by side to compare easily
It’s also nice to see the (same) trees around back then (in their infancy).
Without the past, even if it has been bad or good, we are nothing!
For those of you who think the clip is going too fast:
Everybody!! All you have to do is control the pause (pause then play); this will permit you to study as buildings slowly disappear. Simply amazing and expertly compiled. Thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like this one because I can control what I see as the older buildings superimpose upon the newer ones and or remain the same. Love it!!!!!!!!!!! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Didn't mean to get so excited.

Apart from modern medicine the greatest gift to mankind is the ability to capture the past so that we might look into it & for a second become a part of it..
Cool seeing the trees so young in some of those shots.
Old is gold
Seeing everything fade makes it nostalgic even you weren't born in that time.
اشتقنا لماضي لدينا حنين الى ماضي لاننا كرهنا الحاضر مع انه مليئ بتكلونوجيا حديثة لان الانسان تكون راحته النفسية في حياة البسيطة المليئة بكل شئ طبيعي
