Since the last film by Joel Fletcher went over so well, I thought I would post another one of his Time Lapse works. This one captures Madison, WI in the 1980s and much like his Mall Mania time lapse work in the 1990s, it is hypnotic.

Funny to see a place I drive past everyday look so different. I was not here in Madison in the 80′s, but to see it now compared to then… like an alien world at times.
Nice to see that the fashions have not changed to much around here. there are still people today dressed like they did in the 80′s.
