Photorealist Rod Chase created this turn-of-the-century scene using antique photography which he located in Austin, Texas. His style is beyond amazing! He captures the feeling of old Austin, the hustle and bustle, and also shows it in unbelievable detail Every cobblestone is deliniated; every store front is so real the viewer wants to enter and actually shop.

On an interesting note: Picturing the Past was featured on the set of the T.V. court show, "Texas Justice" with Judge Larry Joe Doherty.
