'Back to the Future,' 'Doctor Who' and other time traveling cult classics have instilled a desire to view the past, present and future in a simultaneous fashion; the photographic work of Samantha Decker provides a realistic way to do just that. Since hopping into a Time Machine isn't possible just yet, Samantha Decker cleverly juxtaposes modern day images on top of vintage ones concerning the same location in order to show the difference a few years have made.
Titled 'Now & Then: Seeing the Future from the Past,' Samantha Decker essentially puts her own spin on this photography fad. Instead of seamlessly blending in the scenes, she lets her hand stay in the frame in order to show her active involvement.
