Sydneytecture is about photographs of old, forgotten places in Sydney, and my restorations of those pictures into modern realism. I also do historical image geolocation on mystery photos.

I wanted to see how real life would look to the people in these faded, black & white photos. So beyond just colourising, I try to make each photo's details realistic, like it was taken by a modern camera, while keeping it accurate to the original.

And now I share them here with you.

Most of these restored pics are best viewed enlarged for their detail, as this main page previews them in low resolution.

I've also included the link to the Google Street View, so you can check out how the scenes look today.

All photos are from Trove, and all dates are confirmed via Sand's Directory and Dove's Maps. Once or twice a week, I upload new ones.
