Tower of Babel

I quite liked this “Tower of Babel” project by Danish photographer Simon Høgsberg. Too bad he stopped working on it…:

One month each year for the last four years I have been working on a photo-project in New York called The Tower of Babel. Last Summer I gave up the project because I reached the conclusion that the theme the project was based on was too weak. This series of photographs is part of The Tower of Babel-project.

He has another nice project called “Faces of New York“, where 10 New Yorkers talk about their faces:

Once in a while we see a person in the street who immediately attracts our attention. We are fascinated by the appearance of the person and feel a strong urge to walk over and say hi.

I spent one month, seven hours a day, walking the streets of New York in search for people who had this effect on me. I found ten, and asked each of them the same question: What do you think about your face?
