Title: Google Maps Outtakes
Post by: Jacob on November 03, 2011, 06:04:44 PM
A collection of outtakes from google maps (I think): http://9-eyes.com/

Some pretty cool photos there. One of them's from Vancouver (well, Richmond actually), but they're from all over the world.

Wow, those are amazing. The one of the elk running toward the curve in the road is scary as fuck.

I'm inclined to believe that many of these are just images done up in the style of google street view. Many are from angles that you wouldn't be able to get from a road (like the person standing on the beach or more pointedly the tank with the orcas).

The cars on a spike are at a mall in Chicago . The first one with the rabbit suit appears to be a screengrab from Trigger Happy TV.

Oh really? Yeah, maybe they're not all legit. Interesting collection of photos nonetheless.

Yeah also the site says these were shown at the new museum in new york. I love that museum but it is very big on artifice. Focuses on more of the indie/performative arts.

What was wrong with the old museum?

Well the Met and Guggenheim are lovely but they can be a bit stuffy and stuck up.

Interesting shots.  I used to live near the two-part tower block :)
