How your vacation photos turned into one man's art

By Eric Fischer

Tag, you're art.

Eric Fischer took photos from Flickr and Picassa that were pegged to a certain location and mapped them. The result is in artistic rendering of the central places where people took photos, geotagged them and then shared those pics on the Web.

"The maps are ordered by the number of pictures taken in the central cluster of each one. This is a little unfair to aggressively polycentric cities like Tokyo and Los Angeles, which probably get lower placement than they really deserve because there are gaps where no one took any pictures," according to Fischer.

Three cities in California are mapped out in this "Geotaggers World Atlas": San Francisco (#4); Santa Monica (#47); and San Diego (#76).

Take a look at where the geotagged pics are concentrated, and for more on how this all came together, read the FlowingData write-up.
