Singapore has changed a lot.
Sometimes we get too caught up within the change that we might not notice how stark it is.
That's why this particular group of pictures might be quite the eye-opener.
Adam Snyder is an American man who've been living in Singapore since 2013.
His father, Joel Snyder, spent some time in Singapore during the late 80's and early 90's.
While here, he took some really cool photos.
Almost 30 years later his son, Adam, came to live in Singapore as well.
Adam's father sent him several small albums of pictures he had taken way back.
Pictures that were taken with a disposable camera (IKR?).
These particular photos were taken in late 1991 to early 1992, as pointed out by Marcus, who noticed the UOB building was halfway built, which placed it around 1992.
Adam told Mothership he "kind of took a look through them, thought they were cool, and put them aside".
His father passed away in 2014.
A few years after that, Adam had an idea to juxtapose the images with up-to-date pictures of the same places his dad took.
He initially posted it on his private Facebook and Instagram accounts, but decided to post it on Reddit Singapore on January 25, 2019.
Here are some of the juxtaposed pictures.

He also appeared to wait for a bus to give even better juxtaposition to the picture.
Very nice detail.

Adam made an interesting observation that the tree there right now was probably that sapling back in 1988.
Ditto for these trees.
He also gave this shot of the difference a map goes through in 30 years.
You can check out his Instagram here, where Adam says he might be posting more of such pictures in the future.
Awesome.
