Scouting New York, a cool blog written by a film location scout living in New York City, recently started a new feature called New York, You’ve Changed.

The idea is to compare shots of New York City in movies with shots of the city today. Here’s Part 1 of Taxi Driver.

Part 2, published yesterday, here.

An interesting essay on (and collection of screencaps of) the metaphysics of Google Street View.
