An interesting article here about Michael Wolfe a photojournalist who has won awards with photographs that he used from google street view.

I actually saw some of these in Derby but wondered what everyone thought. Anyone could sit at home tonight, browse a neighbourhood and print screen the photos from streetview, would that make them a photographer or award winning journalist?
http://www.photomichaelwolf.com/ is his website where he also has street view portraits.
What do you think?
I am unsure to be honest. Part of me kind of respects the artistic merit and unique work but part of me thinks it was the camera on the street view car that made the shots.
