That question is rhetorical, by the way. Josh Owens, master of timelapses, has released his latest video, taken from eleven different hotels around Manhattan. He writes, "I recently spent a little over a month hotel hopping in Manhattan (March 12th to April 29th) shooting time lapse. These clips were pulled from over an hours worth of footage." The result is truly awe-inspring... in fact, it's making us a little verklempt!

The New Yorker was impressed, as well, and Owens told them one of his main obstacles was tourists! "People are so distracted by the lights in Times Square that I would often have to physically keep them from walking into the camera.”
