Japanese photographer, Sohei Nishino, walks around cities taking pictures and pasting and arranging the results to create layered icons of a city from his memory. He has mapped Istanbul, Hong Kong, Paris, New York, Shanghai, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Kyoto, Osaka and London.
Last year, Nishino spent a month walking the streets of London . He took over 10,000 photographs, which he edited down to 4,000. He cut them up and pasted them together into a composite photographic map of the city of London measuring 7.5ft × 4ft.
Nishino's collages are on display at the Michael Hoppen Gallery in London until April 2.

Nope sorry, kids these days are too busy trying not to die by tree branch and chainsaw. We no longer live in an age where working to death is cool.
