LA’s slumber

Not too long ago, I posted about Christoper Thomas’s photographs compiled of a very quiet looking New York City. Photographer Matt Logue has now released his photos of a deserted Los Angeles – another city that never sleeps.

The photographs are a little plain, but they get the point across. This photo above is incredible to me only because I can not imagine Los Angeles without their horrendous traffic.

Feel free to see more photographs in his book E M P T Y L.A., which received an honorable mention in the Photography.Book.Now contest.

The City Never Sleeps…in NEW YORRRRRK

I don’t know about you, but four months later, I am still loving the “Empire State of Mind” song. As mainstream as it is, there’s no denying the goodness of it. So everytime I hear some news about New York, all I wanna do is sing, “…in NEWWWWW YORRRRK…These streets will make you feel brand new!”

Inspiring is what it is.

I’ve never been to New York, but from what I hear it is always being referred to as “the city that never sleeps,” and it’s easy to believe.

German photographer Christopher Thomas must have been conducting stakeouts because he has managed to compose a book of photographers proving that the city does sleep after all. After nearly a decade of snapping these rare shots, he has managed to capture notable sights with not one single person in them.
