General Waterloo Region Heritage

Seems like a fun project:
Dear Kitchener Kick-off
Thursday, July 13, 2017 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Central Library Theatre

Join Taylor Jones, our Guest Librarian and Kitchener’s memory curator and creator of the popular Dear Photograph book and blog, as he launches his new Dear Kitchener (www.dearkitchener.com) project. Learn how you can participate in this photographic essay with your own photographs, history, and memories of Kitchener and Waterloo Region.

"Time capsules from a bygone era, they take on new resonance when juxtaposed against a present-day backdrop.

That’s the concept behind Dear Photograph, the brainchild of Waterloo, Ont. resident Taylor Jones. It’s a hugely popular website whose tagline reads “take a picture of a picture, from the past, in the present.”

Dear Photograph, which celebrated its second birthday on May 26, has been featured in international media, named one of Time’s best websites of 2011, and spawned a hardcover book.

CBC reached out to Taylor Jones to give the Dear Photograph treatment to landmarks in Cambridge, Kitchener and Waterloo. We spoke to him about Dear Photograph, and his latest venture Dandy, a crowdsourced app-development startup that he runs with Matt Scobel and Karl Allen-Muncey."
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
