isn’t everyone sleepy?

the last blog i discovered inspired me to find a few more great ones. sleepyurbanite is another photoblog, this one, however, is done via a camera phone. sleepyurbanite, as you may expect, focuses on people sleeping in public places, which is an incredible common yet incredibly personal experience.

technology meets indie art. i love the word-free narrative presented in these images. the honesty of people caught at their most vulnerable points inside the urban environment. the images themselves are intriguing, yet simple. all in all, sleepyurbanite is a fasciniting site with a unique idea worthy of a look-see.

the other day i ran across a wonderful blog called looper. the blog is a photo journal from one person’s perspective in the chicago loop. devyn, who runs looper, lives on block 58 which is smack dab in the heart of loop. his photos are phenomenal; i find his night shots especially stunning.

the beauty and simplicity presented in many of his images is soothing. personally, i love how each picture presents a unique aspect of city life, some candid, some planned, all brilliant. if you haven’t seen looper, i’d recommend you head over there and give it a once over, it’s worth the trip. devyn has a link to his old site at the top as well as a link to buy his photos (at very reasonable prices i might add). you can contact him at iconeon@yahoo.com. i’ve always found this sort of artistic presentation of the urban experience very engaging.
