Photo Safari #55 - Map the Maps!

Blog Blog

Thursday, May 24 2012 by

This week your mission is to map the maps. World maps, city maps, maps in murals, and globes (especially globes… karma!) I’ll be generous on what constitutes a map so feel free to experiment. I’ll use this as my guide: “A map is a visual representation of an area—a symbolic depiction highlighting relationships between elements of that space such as objects, regions, and themes.” Karma for globes! I reserve the right to start rejecting any maps for which I get too many of the same kind (e.g. 20 posts of one type of map that happens to be in some ads around town.)

Post your finds to Street View – Safari Submissions and Street View – Art – Advertising, Signs, Billboards and Writing for credit. The safari will end at 0700 UTC on Wednesday, May 30.

Good kuck and happy hunting!
