Juxtapose!

From New York and Paris to Beijing, these evocative photographs, entitled 'Silent World' by
Lucie and Simon, are a depiction of some of the world’s most recognizable and busiest public outdoor spaces vacated and devoid of crowds. The only evidence of human life exists in the odd strangler and the architecture that makes up each setting.

Totally rad and eerie. Like something out of a Will Smith flick.

More this wayyyy.

That's incredible! I wonder when they photographed them, it is so odd to see them without any life!

Creepy in an artistic way. It's odd to see places I'm familiar with so totally empty.

Amazing! you wouldn't never think that these streets would ever be quiet!

Victoria said...

I love all the pictures. I wonder how they made that possible. It's nice to easy the usual busy spots uninhabited but still look so lively.

This is what one of the first photographers ever used to do. He would wake up very early and photograph the empty streets of Paris... wish I could remember his name!
