BANKSY BRISTOL

VIA GOOGLE STREET VIEW

I spent sunday in Bristol and didn't get to see the big Banksy exhibition. I'm not the world's biggest Banksy fan but I did feel guilty missing it as it looked like a wicked exhibition. So this post is purely out of guilt.

I'm loving Google Street View recently. I reckon it adds a dimension of accessibility to Banksy's work. Someone can view his little graffiti punch-lines in their natural habitat from anywhere in the world and with a new level of interactivity. Sure as hell beats buying a printed canvas of his work in a shit commercial gallery.

Enjoy!

GOOGLE APOCALYPSE

STREET VIEW LENS FLARE AWESOME

Some excellent images from Google Maps Street View. Due to the nature of patching together several photographs employed by the software I found that the lens flare would start and stop in unusual places. Kinda gives it an eerie atom bomb exploding feel with a rocket trail and everything. Enjoy.
