If you're having a stressful day and need a nice walk in the park (but are too lazy to actually get up from your desk), this is for you.
A walk in the park is a video produced from 2,038 still images that photographer Mark Louis Weinberg assembled after documenting his own walk in the park.
The result is a beautious piece of creative self promotion. You'll want to check out his website, blog and learn more about this photographer that just provided a three minute escape from your ridiculous day.
"Why not just video it?" ??? Seriously??? There are so many reasons why this is so much better than a video. The most obvious reason is the creative take on it. Then there are the technical aspects. Notice the time manipulation, where fewer frames cover a longer distance traveled, giving the impression of speed, and then more frames at other times giving a sense of "pause." The art of stop motion is plain cool in general!
Then there is the feeling this captures that a video couldn't do as well. I mean, in New York, So many people come in and out of you life in a given instance. Each face and character is like a snap shot, but a very fleeting one. You never really get the time to linger on a given face or person. This captures the speed that New York seems to pass you by at.
Sure, you could do a video, but whats the point? This works is a TON better!
