In a series where we're left with more questions than answers, Alex (or Algo on Flickr) shows us just how powerful faceless photos can be.

Take me home (I ♥ Tokyo cabs) is a set that Fabio Sabatini, an Economics Professor in Italy, has created that shows us that magic can be found right on our cities' streets.
