When the weather is nice, John Bentley gets on his bike for a ride.
The semi-retired architectural photographer goes around Vancouver and takes pictures of old buildings.
Bentley would later overlay the images on historical photos for his site vancouvernowandthen.com.
There’s a slider on the two photos, and viewers, by moving the tool right or left, can compare how the building looks then and now.
“The idea is to get people an appreciation for the history of Vancouver,” Bentley told the
Straight in a phone interview.
Bentley has lived in the city for 50 years, and he has seen how much has changed.
