While travelling, have you ever stood in a spot and felt the unique history of a place sitting upon your shoulders? Perhaps you’ve found yourself outside an old church, or visited a particularly retro street corner, and thought “Yeah, there’s a story to this place. Stuff has definitely happened here. Cool stuff. Interesting stuff. Normal, everyday, human stuff. Stuff.”

If so, you’ll probably be fascinated by these rad photographs by Kamal Bagirli. In them, Kamal illustrates the contrast between how places used to be with how they are today by positioning old images within the frame. Simple, yet effective.
