Looking Into the Past: Jason Powel

I'm really digging this new project series photographer Jason Powell has started. The concept is fairly simple and inspired by Michael Hughes' Souvenirs Project. Powell finds old images of various locations, prints them out and then photographs them against their current backdrop. He encourages anyone who wants to do their own to join his Flickr group and contribute.

Also, have you seen this super cool camera experiment Joanna from Cup of Jo did? It's nothing short of awesome!
