Slidable Composite Photos of Berlin Wall 20 Years Later
- ovi256 17y agoAgain, NYT proves a consumate understanding of web content. These interactive graphics would not have been possible in print. The interaction provides great value, much more than a gimmick.
- elblanco 17y agoIf this is the direction old media should go, I'm all for it. Awesome, informative, interactive and provoking.
- chriskelley 17y agoIn the third one down, on the "new" photo, you can distinctly see the cobblestone path that snakes through the city centre representing where the wall once stood.
- bh23ha 17y agoBut I can't figure out if half the street was raised or lowered or stayed the same?

- macco 17y agoAgain, I want to thank the United States. Cool content, too.
- wheels 17y agoInterestingly, the last photo is about a block from my apartment, where I live with my co-founder and we got Directed Edge off the ground. :-)
- hussong 17y agoEven after 13 years of living in Berlin, for the most part at locations right next to the former border, I am still amazed by the magnitude of change this city has seen. German photographer Matthias Kupfernagel took around 2500 impressive pictures of the former death zone between December 1989 and March 1990, right before the wall was demolished. You can see some of them here: http://www.kupfernagel.de/e/edoku.html http://www.kupfernagel.de/e/edoku.html. I can recommend the CD.
