Back in February we popped up to Glasgow to spend some time with the Graphic Design students. One of the pictures I took on that day, which was posted to my Flickr account has just been used to represent Glasgow School of Art's nightlife in an online mapping thing.
My picture is the orange paint on the floor thing, top right.
From what I can gather Schmap takes pictures from online sources (fully credited) and creates content for maps. It's a nice little idea with a terrible name.
Whilst we're talking about maps have a look at Poke's build your own guide thing for Dorling Kindersley. It's good.
The internet, just swilling around, looping through the air whilst you go about your daily business.
They used one of mine as well, of the 'armadillo' on the banks of the Clyde. What an odd coincidence...

I can't remember taking it, to be honest, but I was there so it must be me!

Heh. By a curious coincidence this article appeared in my reader just as I was re-reading a rather relevant old bookmarked article:
