Art Spying On NYC’s Rich People’s Rooftops

It’s the first rule of the paparazzi: there’s nothing wrong with violating the privacy of the rich and famous'in fact, they expect it. Over at Flickr, a photographer named jwilly put up a bunch of Big Apple pics entitled “nyc-travails.” One of his latest is “Rich People Rooftops NYC” and it features…you guessed it, photos of some of the dopest rooftop spaces in the city.

Posted up on surrounding buildings (either that or bopping around town with his jet pack), jwilly examines the supposedly hidden living space of the upper crust. Our only regret is that there are no pics of gazillionaire housewives sunbathing topless. See a gallery of his best flicks below, including the penthouse of the Soho Grand.
