Jeff Panasci's
Then & Now Exposures

Jeff Panasci is a former resident of Cheshire, 1982 graduate of Cheshire High School, currently residing in Wolcott, CT.

​

Some years ago, he decided to create a unique gift for his hometown. Being an avid photographer, he realized he could utilize that skill in a novel project that would benefit and possibly entertain the residents of "the shire", no matter where they currently lived.

​

He would locate vintage photos of structures around town.  Then, as exactly as possible, he would duplicate the conditions under which the originals were taken, as far as: position, time of day, season and sometimes even lighting conditions.

​

A few times, Jeff found himself positioned in the middle of a street that did not exist when the first photo had been snapped.  Some of Cheshire's Finest admonished Jeff more than a few times, informing him that he was a traffic hazard.  No one wanted that to be the title to be known for.
