This is Cincinnati on Sunday, September 24th, 1848—162 years ago. The picture, a daguerreotype taken by Charles Fontayne and William Porter (who were standing on the other side of the Ohio River), is so fantastically sharp you can-with your mouse – step right onto the streets, onto the riverboats, peek through windows, explore rooftops as if you had slipped into the 1840’s with a pass key.

What a creative vision. This would be an excellent "project" anytime you're in the city - maybe each letter would be from a different city or you have a complete alphabet from each. Either way, cool inspiration!

I would like to know how these photos do not become overexposed if the shutter is open for that long...?

Found on FFFFOUND. I never realized how creepy viewing an eyeball up-close like this would be... but it kind of reminds me of a deep oceanic sand ripples, coral or other plant life. Visit the link to view some more unique eyeballs.
