Well, when you put the photos together at ten frames a second, you get an insanely great feel for what it would be to actually go for a walkabout through London.
The walk is part of a larger project named URBAN EARTH (the baffling capitals are theirs, not ours). Mumbai, Bristol and Mexico City also get the treatment. The aim is to show these cities from a new perspective, "(re)presenting cities to show what they are really like for the people who live there - a direct challenge to the media that distort the reality of the places in which most of us now live".We lived for a year in the London area, and this brought back a ton of memories.
Urban Earth also has Bristol (UK), Mexico City, Mumbai, and Guadalajara. I'd be willing to help do Boston. This is simply a fantastic use of the new media.
