This Man's Re-Creation Of Old Travel Photos Is A Touching Tribute To His Grandparents
Armed with his grandfather's travel photographs and his grandmothers’s journals, Christian Carollo has spent the last three years of his life roving the United States in search of the precise locations they both once stood, capturing beautiful present-day replicas of them now, in what he's calling "The Past Present Project."
