Photography – Joe's Bucket List

Now & Then: Vicksburg

Gettysburg is often called the turning point of the Civil War. However, no event was as significant as the siege of Vicksburg. The photos in this post showcase Vicksburg, Mississippi, and its surroundings. The black-and-white images were taken by my father in June 1968. The color photos are mine, captured in August 2024. These pictures were taken 56 years apart.

Check out Tokyo–over 30 years ago, and again today! I haven’t pinpointed the exact date when the old photos in this post were taken. At first, I assumed they were from the late 80s, but spotting Sonic the Hedgehog in the Akihabara pictures below suggests the photos were likely taken in fall 1991.

(In some cases, buildings were built or foliage was installed that blocked the view entirely.

They say “you can never go home.” That’s true–but some places change more than others. I dedicate this blog post to all of the family memories out there. May all of you have the chance to relive your favorite memories as I have been able to! Each of these pictures were taken in the same location, though at least 25 years apart from one another.

Dark Ride Photography

Joe — Thu, 19 Aug 2021 21:06:37 +0000

You may be able to tell that I’m a “photo nerd.” All of the photography on this blog was taken by me, except in some circumstances when I’m in the photo. I’ve never been a professional photographer, but I have gotten better over the years. In my photography experience, the most challenging pictures I’ve taken have ever taken have been on the dark rides at Disney parks.
