Tom Mason Creates Crowds in Brooklyn

Photographer Tom Mason has put together a series called the Fabric of Brooklyn, in which he captured some corners of the borough in about half hour time increments and around 100 snapshots. Digitally compositing the images, he compressed time "in informationally rich ways," and created bustling scenes while focusing in on the finer details and unique population. And hey, DUMBO never looked so crowded! [via Kottke]

    If you're going to heavily rely on Photoshop to completely manipulate a photograph, and use it badly I might add, I'd hesitate to call you a photographer...

    They kind of look like real life 'Where's Waldo' puzzles.
