Klett and Wolfe,website reflection

The work of Klett and Wolfe first and foremost struck me as being extremely labor intensive. The care in lining up old photographs and finding the exact places in which photos were taken blows me away. It must have been exhausting to just find the spot in which a photo was taken let alone get the angle even close. This is great, a appreciation for time is what we are as photographers and what a photograph in its essence are. To revisit time and place that was already captured and attempt to capture it again is very tough. Paying homage to the person who thought there photograph would never resurface or a place that hasn't changed and wont change for the span of human existance.
