Mark Klett & Byron Wolfe

The amount of detective work that goes into the reconstructing old photos of the Rio Grande Canyon is immense. It makes sense that Klett and Wolfe chose to collaborate on this project. Making sure the scale is close, the lightning is identical (timing), and that the angle is correct, are all crucial elements in creating a well done rephotograph. I liked how they took the old photographs and post cards and would insert sections of the new photographs within them. Will we be able to do this in our project? It seems like that would be more of a technical challenge and would captivate the viewer more because you get to compare the two photos as one distinct piece instead of two separate images.
