a constant and endless journey for those sparks of humanity that transcend urbanism as mere statistical phenomenon: here, the handicrafts and fingerprints of societies past and present, of architecture constructed for both perpetuity and as temporary installation, exploring patterns of anthropological settlement hidden under layers of lifetimes.
in short, the secrets of cities.
Hi Michelle,
We’re writing to tell you about a new historical image website we’ve built that we think you and the followers of ‘Untapped New York’ will be interested in.
http://www.sepiatown.com
SepiaTown is a website (mobile version coming soon) that lets people experience the past through a large and growing collection of user-submitted, mapped historical images.
We already have over 400 mapped New York City images in the collection for you to explore, plus images from a host of cities around the world.
In the coming months we’ll be adding a number of new features to the site: mobile version, filtering by date and media type, film and audio upload, plus individualized pages for registered users.
Please feel free to contact us with any ideas or questions. If you like the project, we’d greatly appreciate it if you could help us get the word out.
We hope you enjoy the site,
SepiaTown Co-Founders
