Photography Finds Location Of 1960s Postcards To See How They Look Today

    Not long ago an old matchbook laying on photographer Pablo Iglesias Maurer's desk caught his eye. Or rather, it was the postcard-like picture on it, of a resort complex built in the 1960s. It got Pablo wondering how the place looked now, and the answer has led him to make an amazing photo series called Abandoned States.
    The picture came with the title How to Run A Successful Golf Course, but when Maurer got to the place, it was clear the owner of Penn Hills Resort didn't follow that advice. He pointed the camera at the decaying building at roughly the same spot and did a '5-decades-after' shot of the place.
    Ever since then, Pablo was hooked. He ordered more 60s postcards from eBay and started going around the country capturing these once beautiful buildings that now stand abandoned only as faint memories of what once was.
    "The postcards, have their own haze-the places were never as nice as they look. I often struggle to get the two images to line up, as well. But time blurs the difference, and brings everything into focus."

    I wish more people cared more about old historic places and the history behind them. I've always been fascinated with how places looked back in the day compared to now, even when I used to Urban explore abandoned Hospitals, Asylums & Prisons it just intrigues me to see how things looked from our past and to really think about how lively this Vacant building used to be full of people. All that energy and emotion stays in those walls and sometimes you can feel it like walking back in time! But nowadays everything ends up getting tore down to put up some condos or a highway completely forgetting the past and our history!

      This is called the law of entropy. Almighty Allah has created everything in this world in a form that will lead to destruction. Over time, a person's skin wrinkles, bones melt, hair falls out and other things... Allah has created such a system in this world so that people realize that this world is not a place to be closed. Let them understand that this world is a temporary place. Let them know that real life is life after death.

    Last year, the house I grew up in as a child was demolished, due to the town turning the property into a park and ride. I drove by recently during a road trip to visit family, and it was so weird not seeing the house there anymore. It was twenty six years ago since we moved out of that house and I still miss it sometimes. A Lot of good memories there. It was old and needed alot of work, but it still served its purpose.

      Yeah, back then we stayed outdoors as much as possible. Dependent on your social-economic conditions at the time, going fishing, boating or swimming was the deal. Even those in the city, if possible, would leave for a day trip just to get out of the city. I worked at a camp in North Jersey that was setup to have inner city and special needs kids come to the camp for a week at a time. It gave them an exposure to the outdoors without concrete and gave their folks a break for a week also. The kids got to do some canoeing, nature crafts, arts n' crafts, swimming (or at least taught to float/basic swimming) and other things they normally never experienced in the city.

      Aaron, the cycle is ongoing. Yes indeed, places that WE ALL have been and enjoyed will all be like this someday soon enough. I'm soon 50 years old, and already many places from my childhood are gone, abandoned, boarded up. Campgrounds, bowling alleys, YMCA, hometown hockey stadium, etc. Even my high school is torn down and a modern one built in it's place. I can't even walk those halls ever again. It's already a mere memory, and I'm still alive. Time is a ticking clock, that you begin to notice more as you get older. It's eerie. Also time seems to speed up. Years only feel 'half as long' as they used to in my 20's and 30's. Since you're young, you'll not know this until you are older. But I'm not making this up. You'll see, someday. Thus - cherish your time NOW, ALWAYS.
