Silent World by Lucie & Simon.

In Silent World artists Lucie & Simon take long exposures during the day (using an ND filter) at famous landmarks to create an empty-looking world.

Very apocalyptic looking. I dig it.

Though I could also add that if you walk around Times Square between 5:30 AM-6:30 AM, no one except for an occasional jogger is walking around. But all the lights are still on. Very spooky.

I knew how to relax in an armchair in more than one hundred positions and on the floor in approximately seventy-five more. I knew what the world looked like when viewed through a Jell-O lens. I knew how things tasted — damp washcloths, pencil ferrules, coins and buttons, almost anything made of plastic that was smaller than, say, a clock radio, mucus of every variety of course — in a way that I have more or less forgotten now.
