I don't know what this feeling is..maybe mild fascination


recently been watching these types of videos of the world from over 100 years ago, a time before our parents and grandparents even existed


I get strange feelings while watching these videos, feelings I can't describe


almost like I miss it even though I never experienced it

the upscaling of these videos might be done using a new AI tool i heard about not so long ago. I hope they find some Stereoscopic movies of that era & give it the same treatment too, bad thing is, i dont know if the stereoscopic stuff is only limited to photos
 
Lots of software has been used, couple guys explain how they do it but can't be bothered posting the video here, I just really like the end result, upscaled and at 60 FPS makes it feel more relatable while watching, familiar even, also because I've stepped where some of these people have stepped I really get that feeling of the passage of time, it's weird going back to a place you haven't seen for a decade, even weirder seeing that same place you once stood from over 100 years ago
 
I agree and strange thing is, i have the same feeling watching old pics of my hometown but when im at these locations myself, the feeling is gone, its like your typical everyday.
Theres something with watching pics and movies that gets us.

I've noticed recently it's people that ruin places, just their presence at a place I'm visiting takes away my feeling for that place, I'm in a small town in Sicily at the moment called tortorici, first time I came here was about 20 years ago, I walked around the town centre at 3am this morning and it was so great, no people, no distractions, I felt THERE if that makes sense, usually when I go back to a place and it's full of people it's like my connection is with the people first rather than the place.
 
Its social media, it has ruined a lot of things

people visit the places because they are collecting pictures, they don't want to know the local people & in the worst cases they mistreat & disrespect the locals..
if they ever interact is just for the selfie.

That is why i don't have smart phone, i like to talk to people
 
social media is ruining lots of things, I noticed recently people who finish an oil painting for example, instead of posting just the painting they post a picture of themselves standing next to the painting with their tits and bum hanging out and get thousands of likes hahaha great marketing but sad none the less.

I sometimes wish I could be invisible when visiting places, I stand out like a saw thumb no matter where I go :o and often the attention is focused on me and I hate being the center of attention especially when I just wanna do simple things like eat, at times I've had groups of people following me and it just kills my vibe I guess thats why like empty places at 3am. I am considering getting back into film as I hobby, I like the idea of filming some of the same places I've already been and again years later.

 
i have some cell phones with built in 3D cameras, i like to film events with them, i want to do a mod so the cameras are attached to some glasses frames so i can film 3D stuff without having to use my hands & just capture stuff without looking at a screen.

for some events or places i go a first time & if its interesting ill go again & capture it...
 
That's pretty amazing. Honestly, what I always take out of these is things are not really different as we like to think.

Heck, Barcelona looks exactly the dang same then as now!

I think its crazy how much has happened since then, technology wise, it wasn't even that long ago.
