Then & Now Art®: 12 S. Barstow St. - Eau Claire, WI [1900's/2012]

The image that started it all!

Our first "pilot" image. Also our only night shot, as photography in the early 1900’s was more rare than daytime photography. Fun note: the Model T you see here is parked in front of what was a photography studio. We are speculating that the car belonged to the photographer who owned that studio as it would take a photographer to understand that you need to turn your headlights on at night in order to determine that that shadow was a vehicle.
