Calgary Heritage Initiative forums

Hey everyone,
New member on the forum, but I've been following CHI for some time now and have recently started attending events such as East Village, Past and Future and the latest panel discussion.
I thought I would share some photos I have taken in the last year that might interest some of you. I'm assuming some of you know, or are familiar with 'rephotography', and I have been practicing this technique with images I find off the Glenbow Archives. I've been busy with school for the last eight months so hopefully I'll have some time this summer to do some more!

This is great stuff! Thanks for contributing. Consider coming to our open meeting on May 17 - see the event listing. Also, note the wonderful collection of historic photos now online courtesy of the Calgary Public Library, Community Heritage and Family History. http://calgarypubliclibrary.com/chpage.aspx

Thanks!
I've been trying to find other online sources of local historic photos!

Here are a few more I was able to do today:
