It's a book called Empty L.A., which consists of photos of Los Angeles with no people in it. A special effects technican named Matt Logue is responsible...and I'm guessing what he did was to shoot multiple photos of busy areas, then use Photoshop or something of the sort to combine unpopulated segments of many pics. However he did it, the result is mesmerizing, especially if you're familiar with these locations in their usual, human-filled states. Take a look at the preview and maybe order a copy.It's not the lack of people, it's the streets w/o cars. One would be surprised to see walkers in some of these zones,but the absence of autos is the real mesmerizer.

Urban Editor Thinks:
Really, aren't cities just better that way?
When I was a kid this was my dream: empty city and me.
Holding Onto Our Dreams Editor Adds:
Still our dream.
We're sorry your dreams were taken from you by a cruel & uncaring society/family/job market/world.
