The experiments with the camera German photographer Michael Wesley began long before there were these photographs since their creation took no more nor less than 9 years. The essence of these works lies in the fact that in one frame fit the changes made over a certain period of time - it could be a year, five, ten or even 20 years.





Michael Wesley was born in Munich in 1963, but soon moved to Berlin, where he visited the idea of ​​creating such an interesting project. It all started with the reconstruction of Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, which was made in 1997. Then Michael decided to put his camera for 26 months with an open lens that every slightest update was sealed.









When in 1999 the project was completed Wesley, we were all literally dumbfounded, because destroyed and re-built buildings stood like a ghost, reminding us that time moves super fast and everything changes quite strongly.











When finished with this photo project, Michael Wesley decided to repeat its success and to improve the whole process somewhat, leaving the camera near the building of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, who was then under construction, enabled immediately to 34 months. Since August 2001 to June 2004, the camera recorded the changes and eventually turned gorgeous detailed images.













For his work, Michael does not use conventional and special stands, which at times difficult, because you can not assume that the camera has deviated even by a millimeter.

In addition to the buildings Michael Wesley relieves people horizon and flowers.
