Wapak - Then and Now - Art Project

by Theodore James


Over the past year, I began an art project called Wapak Then & Now. I researched and found historic photos from all over Wapakoneta, Ohio and rephotographed them from the same location and composition to create a side by side comparison. Check out the exhibit below. It's a fun walk down memory lane. It reminds us, that we are only here for a fleeting moment in time. Don't waste it.
