Behold, Glorious Photologs!
My new found shiny-thingy: online photologs of New York City (and other cities, but mostly just NYC). Could anything be more ... indulging? I feel like a kid on Christmas Day again. Ever since the death of indie rock (see previous entry), I had been lacking that daily fix of something of novelty. This new discovery of mine has been a blessing among blessings, not to mention that this time around, I actually want to share this new discovery with everyone!
Aside from my already strong infatuation with the city of New York, the pictures that one finds on these photologs are just straight-up interesting and entertaining to look at. Most of the pictures are of the more grungy side of the city, showing the urban decay so rarely portrayed and often neglected. When someone talks of visiting New York City, they usually don't tell you about the faded signs of sunken businesses or rusted and abandoned buildings covered in a rainbow of graffiti. That's what I love about these pictures; they portray the beauty in what normally would be considered dirty or ugly. Not only have these pictures further intrigued me about NYC, they also strenghten my desire to move there. I'm not even sure how I stumbled upon this treasure box of golden pictures, but I'm pretty sure Google contributed much to it. Thank you, Google.
