The LA Times showcased the most recent project by photographer Matt Logue the other day.  Titled "Empty LA", the four-year project depicts an uninhabited Los Angeles.  Logue used a method he describes as a digital mosaic to piece together hundreds of pictures of recognizable locations shot during low-traffic times to produce images without a trace of people or cars.  The work is both lonely and peaceful at the same time, and generates a quiet appreciation for the city.  You can order copies of his book or see more of the work here.
