some diverting loft porn to stimulate your new year

too many Manhattan lofts, with too many photos (!)
I don’t have anything to say about the specific lofts you can view there, as the Location Department website is a business site for film and ad location scouts; for viewers like myself, it is like the proverbial drink of water from a fire hose: too many photos of too many lofts, presented with no useful commentary for a mere loft tourist and with no way to know what’s there without clicking photo by photo, loft by loft.

I know there are some stunning loft photos “MODERN APARTMENTS, LOFTS, BROWNSTONES & TOWNHOUSES: NEW YORK CITY” page because I clicked through a half dozen or so … but there are hundreds I did not (yet) click. In other words, the page is a vast time suck. Don’t blame me if you start today and don’t come out for a few days.

If you want a hint for a way to start, you could do worse than studying the different views of the brick walls pictured many times in the (100+) photos of this huge Broome Street loft. As that clever guy below says, these photos are not the kind of marketing of lofts you are used to seeing; if you lose patience up top, scroll down about two thirds and wonder about the underwear and other laundry strewn through that bedroom photo sequence. You just don’t see pictures like that everyday.

The first tip of the hat goes to Curbed for linking to this “clever” guy, who gets the main hat tip for the Location Department link.

Enjoy! Feel free to comment on favorite discoveries.
