Does anyone remember a picture of Times Square with all the ads / billboards / text removed?

Does anyone remember seeing a picture of Times Square with all the ads / billboards / text removed?

I remember seeing it a couple of years ago, but all my Googling has been for naught. Hope me find it, Hive Mind!

The Untitled Project perhaps?

That's the same sort of idea, but that wasn't it.

Thanks, though!

I remember seeing an old photo somewhere, black and white, from before Times Square became Times Square. Sorry can't be more specific.

Just to clarify:

The photo I'm looking for is modern (within the last five years), isn't part of the Untitled Project, and has the ads removed and stamped over (sort of like the Untitled Project).

I believe I saw it on Metafilter or on one of the more popular blogs.

If ztdavis is right, here is the current home of Delete! (with larger image).
