Watch the Time Lapse Video, The Manhattan Project, by Cameron Michael

I must have a thing for time-lapse, stop-motion videos, especially those about my current city of New York. Maybe it is because I live here and understand the world’s fascination. Or maybe it’s because I have a volatile love-hate relationship with it. Sometimes I am surprised by the mere fact I live here and sometimes I want nothing more than to rage against its noise and pollution. Photographer Cameron Michael might have similar feelings like mine, carrying around 120 pounds of equipment for several weeks to capture the landmarks of the Big Apple in order to produce his time lapse video, The Manhattan Project. Or maybe he is more dedicated to this cultural city because, unlike him, I would have waited until someone created a stunning production worthy of being watched and mentioned.
