New York City photographs

06 January 2009


Happy new year everyone.

In December I visited New York City, and I've just uploaded my gallery of New York City Photographs. It was a great time to be there - the city was decorated for Christmas, including giant baubles and giant Christmas tree lights. There was also a great vibe around Obama's recent election - some people had their Obama campaign stickers left on their jackets with pride, and he was on the cover of nearly every magazine, and on t-shirts on many a street corner.

Here's one photo that didn't make it into the main gallery:

Invisible wigs shop

According to the shop owner, there are actually three wigs in this window display. Incredible.

Photos: Valencia, Spain

22 April 2007


Last weekend I visited Valencia as part of a work project. The hotel was next to this space age landscape, an arts and science park, all curved buildings and reflecting pools. It was relaxing to walk around, and I spent my free time wandering around it and taking photos. I've put 15 photos online today. Here are two of my favourites:

Valencia: The Hemispheric and Opera House

Photos: Google Map updated

24 June 2006


Screenshot of my Google MapI've updated my World Travel Photography Map with new photos including three of Corfu, two from Brussels and three from Berlin.

I've added extended captions for many older photos. The new captions indicate where it's worth zooming in for a satellite view (eg of the Atomium).

New world travel photography map

28 January 2006


I've created a new interactive map for exploring my travel photographs. For many of them, you can zoom in to see a map and satellite image of the area where they were taken. The interactive map includes many otherwise unpublished photographs.

When I get time, I'll raid more old photos to put some more landmarks and cities on the map. I'll also add photographs of new places as I visit them.

This was created using the Google maps API, and I've included some pointers to resources I found helpful when building it. If you know a bit of Javascript you won't find it difficult to create a simple Google maps applications like this, although it can be time-consuming working out the coordinates.

Anyway, enjoy the map. And let me know if you've got any feedback.
