Looking into the past, the Cameraist - James Powell's incredible project

Richard asked in the comments how the addresses were found for the old photos, in order to find the current location to do these cool double images... Jason replied in the comments that the landmarks are fairly well known to him, as he has lived in DC a long time. I want to add to that this info, the photos are from Shorpy.com, and it's a great website I've browsed for years and reposted many images here, and in the numerous comments after each photo that Shorpy posts you can usually find the address, and the cross street, and more trivia about the items in the photos.

The California Shaker

I think the pinstriping design is great, but the humor of painting on a keyhole is terrific

No doors needed when it looks this good

Terrific boxcar toybox by David and Bernise Shiller furnituremakers, I love it

Found in the book, Treasure Chests, which is great! The Studley tool chest is in that book, and so are steamer chests, military footlockers, tool chests, travelers trunks, and even such historically cool things like George Washingtons footlocker, Thomas Jeffersons portable writing desk, and most incredible: maybe the only surviving Boston Tea Party tea chest from China

If anyone knows of any other woodwork from David and Bernise, please let me know where to find it on the internet, because Google came up with nothing at all

effing cool toothy grin on this rail

found in this months Traditional Rod and Kustom Illustrated, one of the best magazines. Found in a lot of magazine racks.

More cool stuff from 5window.tumblr.com

all from http://5window.tumblr.com but beware that it's changed a bit from being primarily race cars and hot rods, there are lots of nude women, lingerie, etc etc. Yup, that's awesome, but don't let your boss sneak up on you to see what you are surfing the web looking at

Finally another great Trans Am race car transporter
