Mappr! Where It’s At.

“Mappr is an interactive environment for exploring place, based on the photos people take. By adding geographical information to the wealth of photographs found online, it allows new ways of looking at spaces and images. Mappr adds place to pictures. Mappr takes advantage of the cornucopia of descriptive information provided by Flickr’s users to organize their photos.”

LOMOgraphy lost its brilliance years ago, and it’s so easy to kick a dead horse, especially when the dead horse lends itself to being kicked.”
