Wandering New York is a blog where amateur photographer Joseph Raskin posts new photos of various New York City neighborhoods every night.
Interesting photos, but where'd all the people go?

He explains his technique in the silive.com article:
"But I didn't want the people to be the focus of my photos. So I used long exposures to completely blur moving people out. I rested my camera on garbage cans, pillars, benches, railings and kept the lens open for about 10 or 15 seconds."I think it's an interesting choice because it makes every shot into a scene from a Twilight Zone episode.
