The Creation of "New York Now and Then: A Tribute to George Bradford Brainerd"

This is a great project.

Great job!!  I like to watch the video transitions of the shots.

Excellent Works!
George Brainerd would have been very proud!
Keep it up!  Thank you very much.

This project has a special meaning for me. My ancestral family home still stands on Horatio Street in the West Village and my great-great Grandfather was a member the NYS 7th Regiment (Silk Stockings) during the Civil War. Their parade grounds was Washington Square Park.

Great video.  Can you please pinpoint the exact song this is from Adi Goldstein?

Nice video.

you need to have your photos in a gallery

You should do a longer video once the project is complete, this was amazing to not only watch, but read about as well. Job well done sir

This is a great short clip. I wish wish we could keep this old places alive. Its places like these that built our country an gave the people of those days a place to relax. It is to bad that places like these are being left to rot. It makes me sad.

Great work, I really enjoyed this. I hope that photographers (amateur and professional alike) will continue taking photos of their communities for posterity so that projects like this can be done well into the future. 

another great video!! wow has time changed and how it actually looked more amazing back then , then it does now! 

Wow your work is just fantastic! Thank you for sharing it with the world.

As a teen, back in the early 60's, I attended a Jewish parochial school that was located in what once had been PS 1.  Even then we  knew it was really old but seeing the picture,WOW.  Thank U

Awesome job of getting the angle not just right but perfect. 

@Jordan Liles, what would also be cool to me, is if you were able to do this with Millionaires Row and show the Vanderbilts, Astors, etc mansions and what stands in their place now. But I thought this was amazing, beautiful and it seemed to jump off the screen, great job!!!

I love this kind of thing....going back in time, when life was simple and not so
fast paced. Hardships true, but these people built America.  Thank you for sharing.
Great photography.

Beautiful. I have family that lived in NYC during this period of time so it's really neat to see how life was back then.

wow

Awesome and the music is spot on

Stunning! Thank you for your work & sharing!

Great video!!

Wow !!!

First time ever hearing of you and this pictorial gift of yours through a Facebook share. I will definitely be a new subscriber. The two I watched today were excellent and the Wonderland actually made me emotional. So, much lost or simply undiscovered history in this great country of ours. Time, finances and many other things will keep the many of us from ever seeing things like this. People like you are a blessing to people like me with medical and physical restrictions. It may not be the same for everyone, but I appreciated seeing the stories and sites in these video formats, over not seeing them ever. God bless your efforts. I cannot wait to go through and see what all you have documented.

Really enjoyed Wonderland and the stills of NYC.  Thanks.  Hope to see more.

Bravo I have always loved looking back on old to the new looks I wish I had photographed the town I live in when I was 17 to now at 55 the changes..
 

Outstanding.....

Woah!!! I didn't know that!! So color hadn't been invented yet 140 years ago? It must've been weird with only black and white in the world. I'm glad we can see colors now.. :)

This is neat!

Wow. Great video! Very well put together. 

make more of these Jordan! LOVE IT.

very nice. just like a time machine. 

As Time Goes By

Amazing video and amazing blog. :) 
(I'm from Europe, but I really like this comparsion of New York) 

im colombian but this is really cool. 

Awesome job!

Just watched you compilation from Elkmont, Tn., also. My wife and I are heading up there in a couple weeks. I told her I'd like to see some of the 'out of the way' places with cool stories. I'm looking forward to finding that old abandoned resort now. 

 You should have a show on the History channel or something. Nice work:)       

Great

Brilliant !!!

Reminds me of the ending to Gangs of New York. Great work!

Absolutely amazing. ^..^~~

Every now and then I come across something special and this video is it.

amazing job!

I come here from Nat's “I Was Here First” video to Adi Goldstein's Inspiring Innovation iPhone 5c commercial.

but i was here first

Good job ! And very interesting. A place that is supposedly very young and new, looks so old and run-down even back then. Very strange !
