I have to limit myself to how much time I spend looking at Street View or I would do nothing else. I think it's the greatest achievement in the history of photography. That people can find an almost limitless selection of entirely different kinds of photos never fails to amaze me.
Hugely debatable. it's mass documentation with no particular Photographic objective. it's a fantastic feat no arguing that, but you could Photograph the whole planet every year and every year will be something different to wow over within the same location. it's the people that make a Photograph what it is. Ultimately, it's a pointless exercise, but we're visual creatures and we give meaning to them. Like seeing Jesus on toast.
So it all becomes an objective exercise. Limitless is correct in the same essence that well..the planet is pretty fucking massive.
If you lived a thousand years and travelled the world on foot documenting every aspect of life, does that make you the most amazing photographer that ever was?
