Google street view

lol Garry, I'd like to photograph you doing that! :-)

As for the street view I might have a go and see what sort of interesting scene I can find, anyone else going to give it a go? Just need to find an interesting area in the UK to search.

surely this is true of all photography, it's just a question of pushing the shutter release & pointing it at something.

My wife is on street view going into a house in Leicester some 90 miles from where we live.

Rather poignantly it was when her father died & she drove up to the empty house & shows her carrying some of his possessions. It reminded us both of that time a couple of years ago.

Would the chimp be shooting in auto mode - otherwise I doubt they would ever get a shot just as one would never write a Shakespeare work by chance hitting of keys.

As forthis guy Wolfe`s art so it`s a picutre of a screen rahrthan a screenshot? Maybe I`ll do an "appropriation" of te Mona Lisa, print it off much bigger ta te too small original ad claim that as my own art. As Abers says why bother getting out there when you can shoo off cscreen in your own living room. I am sure this knid of "art" is there to be provocative and make peple think "How clever". Makes me think - can he not take his own photos / ideas?

Wait and see what great shots of the forthcoming wedding I'll be posting. I've landed a prime front line position to capture every moment, all backed up by an unending supply of tea and biscuits.

Mmmmmm, I hope those cameramen know how to compose a decent wedding picture.

I might even do the Cup Final this year as well!

Late to this due to my sketchy internet being useless for the past week or so.

I was going to type a well thought out, possibly rambling piece, explaining my views on this. Then I realised it could all be summed up with my initial reaction.

"IS HE TAKING THE P!55?"

You don’t even have to sit looking at street view now to get photos in an exhibition, just get your cat to take the photographs
