Google Street View by Joel Lambeth

Posted on July 11, 2009

In order to give some of my Found Collage and street art photos an added layer of context, I have now included Google Street View links on all of these photos that have been uploaded to my RedBubble gallery.

For some of the photos the Street View does not give a really clear picture of the surroundings at the time the photo was taken. Things change after all, and one of the things I love most about these photos is that they only really exist for a few days, after which time the surface of the wall will change and evolve into something else. In these cases, the link serves only to provide the location that the photo was taken.

However in other cases, the Street view clearly shows the the surface of the wall that the photo was taken on. It is not the same as it was on the day the photo was taken, but you can certainly see what I do when I approach a wall.

Some of my favourite examples are:

Cleveland Street, Redfern

Mary Street, Newtown

Burton Street, Darlinghurst

King Street, Newtown

From now on, when I add a new one of these photos to RedBubble I will also include the link for the Street View.

Here is a couple of new photos added today:

City Road, Darlington
King Street, Newtown
