Wonderful long exposure photographs of passing crowds in Titarenko’s City of Shadows series, found probably via BLDGBLOG who calls their post pandemonium, rather aptly. It might also be on Lens Culture though. Definitely worth following these two if you don’t already do so.

Long exposure population movement like this is a lot more difficult than it looks. In a series taken with a Holga pinhole camera in Baltic Square a couple of years ago, there is definitely the essence of at least one Pet Shop Boy and a huddle of hangers on, although the exposure hardly shows more than a slight drift in the colour cast. Those photos will need recanning, since the HD containing about 2 years worth of work looks to have failed. Hurrah for negatives, hmm?

This is turning into black-and-white month.

    I love the way all the mad rush of humanity is on one side of the stairs.

    It reminds me of standing still in the middle of a large City centre and wondering where everybody is rushing to and Why?
