Ex Post Facto

A great tradition in travel is the postcard. Send it to friends and family or hold onto them for a record of what you've seen. It's like having a official snapshot of a vacation. Or proof of being a "boob inspector".

But they are also records of a time and place. Photographer and Filmmaker Julien Donada is what we'll call a postcard archeologist. He visits the places pictured in old postcards and documents the changes in the same frame of the photo. This has taken him to California, Bulgaria, Paris, and Instanbul, to name a few.

We just can't wait till he finds a postcard from Las Vegas sixty years ago. Nary a buffet in sight!
