Peter Funch's Hybrid Manhattan

This is simply the best thing I've seen in ages. Photographer, Peter Funch spends weeks on New York street corners and then composites together 'collections' of people.

The results are wonderful:




In some way (Oh dear, I'm going to blurt this out before I've considered it properly) these images are a beautiful, visual metaphor for creativity: bringing together disparate elements to conjure up a new perspective on something familiar.

And the clunkiness of my last sentence goes to show how much lovely visual metaphors are needed!

Brilliant.
