Surprisingly varied, very interesting, together they form a weird little story themselves. A few examples: Eat the fish eye… Use a condom… Drink with your pinky up… Plastic is the wave of the future…
As the piece moves down, you can see people's outfits and shoes. Forming complete individuals."
PHTHRD in NYC invites three artists to tell a story using hundreds of Polaroid pictures to craft a mosaic narrative. This will happen LIVE in Brooklyn on Tuesday March 25. That means you watch them do it and you get to be in the pictures.

The notion of things moving quickly, captured forever in their blurred state, is also explored by LVHRD constant photographer Eric Luc. His Trees at 65mph series substitutes the strong personalities of LA with a restless expanse of midwest fauna.

For even more on the matter, there is the documentation of an entire drive across the United States:
