nytimes.com - The miracle of photography is that it takes moving objects and makes them still. Yet in real life, motion is part of who we are, the pulse of the city around us. Adam Magyar invented a way to insert that motion into still images. What you see on this page are not block-wide streetscapes, but minutes in the life of a one-pixel-wide sliver of New York life, captured in all its chaos and motion.
Mr. Magyar, 42, a Hungarian-born photographer living in Berlin, set a jury-rigged digital camera on a corner in Times Square, with the frame narrowed to the thinnest possible vertical slit, and programmed it to record about 1,000 images a second.
