A Daily Thing

4 and 30

Posted in regular by Sabine on June 27, 2010

I love maps (Michelin maps make my heart go boom and can entertain me for, well, hours. And yes, a good part of that time is spent trying to figure out how to fold them back up properly.)

I get even more excited when I see maps of a different kind, that organise information in a way you’ve most likely never seen before. These are maps of Paris and Melbourne, and they must have been as fastidious to draw up as they are amazing to look at.

Simply put, the maps are about photography: the blue points represent pictures taken by locals, the red points pictures taken by tourists, and the yellow points are the wild card (their takers couldn’t be put in either categories).

Eric Fischer, I applaud you.

Look at more cities in his Flickr set (he’s prolific!).  You will also find out what 4 and 30 correspond to.

I want a wall of these.  Bad.  Maybe of cities Christian and I have been to and lived.  I can see it.  Brilliant.
