Looking Into the Past: 8010 Main Street, Ellicott City, MD
Surprisingly, Ellicott City has maintained their Main St. very well. Most of the original houses and shops are now boutiques and "vintage" stores, but they haven't torn anything down and it's a quite charming few blocks. The telephone/power poles have gotten taller, but that's about it. As with most of these survey style photographs, the source image was taken in the middle of the road, which means I was dodging traffic the whole time trying to duplicate it, which is why the left side is a little off. It's close, though. There's some ugly post-processing done on this shot because the image was quite backlit. I have got to stop taking these in the late afternoon. Original photo from the Library of Congress. See this scene today. This photograph is for sale at my RedBubble page. Please like this project on Facebook!
