We were blown away by this gorgeous time-lapse video, documenting photographer Cameron Michael‘s explorations of New York City. Though a time-lapse video of city life isn’t exactly a new idea, this one is particularly well-crafted, filled with beautiful shots of New York standbys like the Highline, yoga in the park, subway musicians, and of course, lots of people and traffic, as well as interesting perspectives and fluid movements that make you feel like you’re really poking your own nose into all of these magical places. Even better, if you’re anything like us, we pretty much guarantee that this video will inspire you to get out and explore your city (whatever city you might find yourself in) — and who knows? You might just see things in a whole new way.
