In 1965, Camilo José Vergara was a Chilean student who moved to the U.S. to study. During the 1970s, he started taking pictures of various neighbourhoods such as Harlem to document how they deteriorated over time.

This week, Google Street View launched a similar feature allowing users to see the evolution of any given area since 2007. Nice.
