Happy weekend! The sun is shining and I’m going on a little exploration/adventure this afternoon – how about you?
Perfectly complementary to my afternoon plans… Have you seen the photo website Downtown From Behind, yet? It’s a series of photos shot of various residents – from behind, as the name suggests – riding their bikes around the streets of NYC. It’s such a light hearted, casual look at the typically bustling Big Apple. Plus it’s kind of neat that the portraits are shot from behind – adds a little mystery, yeah? Who are these people? The website offers brief little stories about each, but by never showing their faces, there’s still this anonymity and curiosity to it all. Really cool. And the photos are pretty. Added bonus. ;)

They provide a much greater sense of life to the city, I find. Maybe because I’ve never been to NYC, but just from the way it’s always portrayed in the media, it seems so overwhelming and scary to me! But through these photos, it seems much more down to earth. … or something?
