The Manhattan Street Corners

"Designer Richard Howe worked for two years to photograph all 11,000+ street corners in Manhattan." Just wow. (via Kottke)

Wow is right. Should this might accomplishment be credited to dedication or OCD? 11,000 street corners?

Two years? March to November of 2006 is two years?<blockquote>I began photographing in mid-March, 2006, and finished in mid-November of that year.</blockquote>He does say he took a few additional photographs in 2007 but that those made up only about 2% of the total. So I guess technically it's two separate years, but it's not like he was working for two years straight.

Eh. Grammar/meaning Nazi that I am…

Talk about a waste of time.

I used to live there and the 11000+ street corners where not the best points of the greatest city in the world.

Try the 11000+ Bums! Now that's something to spend 2 years clicking at.
