33 Unusual Urbanography

From Urban Reflectography to Criminal Photo Subjects

— December 29, 2009 — Art & Design
When I think of the word ‘urban,’ I instantly think of cities and modern living, followed closely by the niche culture that also adopts that term. It seems inevitable that we will ever be able to escape this urban movement, not that we would necessarily want to.

Documenting these cultures, I’ve compiled some of the unusual urbanography that Trend Hunter has featured. Check it out to fully grasp the meaning of ‘urban.’
