Then and now

...

Comparative writing is marked by words like “but” and “however” and with expressions like “on the other hand…” and “alternatively…”

Showing two pictures of the same subject can be dramatic. Especially if one is a “before” shot and the other a “later” one.

Pictures which show the effects of special diet, or a cosmetic procedure, or pictures taken of a location before and after urbanization or before and after an earthquake…

There are also the "then and now" comparisons. Pictures taken of the same subject over time.

And for we as human beings, it can be compelling to see pictures of us as we once were, and as we are now. 

Director George Lucas took a nostalgic look at the 1960s in the 1973 movie American Graffiti. Here’s a couple of pictures taken of him then and now. Would that we could find photographs of ourselves that portray us projecting authority as well then and now.
