In 1939, Berenice Abbott published Changing New York, in her words:

"...an accurate and faithful chronicle in photographs of the changing aspect of the world's greatest metropolis"

She crisscrossed the city from 1935 to 1938, large-format camera in tow, documenting the details of New York City at street level.

For the last six years, Douglas Levere has been re-shooting Abbott's photographs. Photographing the same scenes at the same time of day, even using the same 8 x 10 camera, Levere allows us to see what has and what has not changed in the ever-changing metropolis.

He is publishing his photos in New York Changing, and has put together a nice site to showcase the photographs.
