Udhëton nëpër Amerikë për t’i ribërë fotografitë e gjyshit NULL NULL 16.10.2015 16:45 16.10.2015 16:45 Gjyshi i Christian Charrollos ishte një udhëtar për t’i marrë lakmi. Ai i ka dokumentuar të gjitha udhëtimet me aparatin e tij, kështu që Carrollo i mori të gjitha fotografitë e tij kur gjyshi i vdiq në vitin 2008. Duke i parë këto fotografi dhe vendet ku gjyshi i tij kishte udhëtuar, atij i erdhi ideja që t’i rikrijojë të gjitha këto imazhe duke shkuar pikërisht në vendet që sheh nëpër fotografi. Projektin e tij ai po e quan “projekti i së kaluarës në të ardhmen” dhe fotografitë që po i rikrijon ai po i poston në profilin e tij në instagram, shkruan Business Insider, transmeton Klan Kosova. Fotografitë që do t’i shihni më poshtë, janë ribërë nga Christian dhe janë publikuar në profilin e tij në instagram. Janë nga vende të ndryshme të Amerikës nëpër kohë të ndryshme dhe aty mund të shihet se sa ka ndryshuar një vend në kohë të caktuara. Për t’i gjetur vendet ai ka thënë se merr një detaj nga fotografia e pastaj bën kërkime në Google dhe në këtë mënyrë orientohet më lehtë.

Checked the car, cleaned the windows and inside, went shopping for strawberry-lunch, went to Union Pacific Station to photograph it, and to Sears for air filters." #pastpresentproject – A post shared by Christian Carollo ✈ 📷 (@sayhellotoamerica) on Oct 13, 2015 at 4:33pm PDT View this post on Instagram Bonneville Salt Flats in Tooele County, Utah | May 1979 & September 2015 Excerpt from my grandmother’s travel journal on May 6th, 1979: “No welcome sign to Utah! But two miles in the white cloudy-looking salt, a very modern rest area, with an observation ‘tower’ and big curved roofs over a part of the parking area to shield cars from the sun! The wind on that little tower blew fiercely & cold — the car is hot! Mirages building up from the heat, lakes reflecting even the mountains. Mountains swimming in the air like Caribbean reefs & islands in the ocean; icebergs floating & reflecting in non-existent water. An unbelievable illusion!” #pastpresentproject – A post shared by Christian Carollo ✈ 📷 (@sayhellotoamerica) on Oct 8, 2015 at 7:50am PDT View this post on Instagram Golden Spike National Historic Site in Promontory Summit, Utah | September 1974 & September 2015 Excerpt from my grandmother's travel journal on September 16th, 1974: "On entering the Visitors Center, the slide show goes on automatically. At the end, the dark curtain that hid a picture window opens and shows the two locomotives facing each other in the middle of the plain under the big blue sky." #pastpresentproject – A post shared by Christian Carollo ✈ 📷 (@sayhellotoamerica) on Sep 23, 2015 at 4:50pm PDT View this post on Instagram Main Street in Placerville, California | June 1981 & May 2015 Excerpt from my grandmother's travel journal on June 9th, 1981: "Walked through Placerville until 3:00 — looked at old houses, stores, Chamber of Commerce, and then out again. Some air conditioning for the first time, it was hot in the sunny town." #pastpresentproject – A post shared by Christian Carollo ✈ 📷 (@sayhellotoamerica) on Sep 4, 2015 at 9:13pm PDT View this post on Instagram Main Street in Breckenridge, Colorado | June 1981 & July 2015 Excerpt from my grandmother's travel journal on June 13th, 1981: "A tiny town of old log cabins and wooden houses from the mining time, nicely restored and painted colorful, many used as stores — like the Christmas shop, which naturally drew us in & looking through about 5 or 6 rooms full of stuff, got away with a golden little hunting horn Christmas ornament." #pastpresentproject – A post shared by Christian Carollo ✈ 📷 (@sayhellotoamerica) on Sep 3, 2015 at 8:42am PDT View this post on Instagram Yosemite National Park, California | April 1979 & May 2015 Excerpt from my grandmother's travel journal on April 20th, 1979: "Entering Yosemite National Park — clean and cool air, the smell of pine & redwoods.

Lady ranger gave us the earphones like in Carlsbad Caverns and we went through the 'Thayer', three-masted schooner that logged lumber on the West Coast nearly 100 years ago." #pastpresentproject – A post shared by Christian Carollo ✈ 📷 (@sayhellotoamerica) on Aug 24, 2015 at 2:59pm PDT View this post on Instagram White Sands National Monument, New Mexico | April 1979 & October 2014 Excerpt from my grandmother's travel journal: "The dunes are very fine white sand, no vegetation — climbed up on one & photographed the spread with the background of Sierra Blanca (it actually had snow on it!!) and the San Andres Mountains, which were blue." #pastpresentproject – Due to the ever-changing dunes at White Sands National Monument, I can't say for sure that this is the exact same location of my grandfather's photograph. But after showing the photo to a park ranger, I am confident that I at least have the correct mountain range in the background. – A post shared by Christian Carollo ✈ 📷 (@sayhellotoamerica) on Aug 23, 2015 at 6:56am PDT View this post on Instagram Fisherman’s Wharf in Monterey, California | April 1979 & May 2015 Excerpt from my grandmother’s travel journal on April 29th, 1979: “First to Fisherman’s Wharf, no comparison to San Francisco, but a wharf with some small stores and eating places.
