Above there are some photographs taken by Michael Wesley. The german photographer has spent many years trying working on techniques for long camera exposures. Many of his shots were set to expose for over 3 years and he began using this technique in order to document urban development over time. The shots above are from the reconstruction of Leipziger Platz in Berlin and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The photos were taken by using 4 to 8 cameras positioned in different places around the construction sites, and were exposed for 34 months.
His images are unique and capture both space and time. You can see that the older parts of the buildings that were exposed the longest are clearer and darker while the new parts are more blurry.
