The Seamless City.
An artist takes a 30-mile walk through San Fransisco, taking photos as he goes and stitching them together to make a completely continuous portrait of his city. It's not complete yet, but there are some small samples that give you some idea of the mind-boggling scale of his undertaking.

What an excellent idea. It will be interesting to see how he puts it all together.

Agreed. I'd love a copy of this book as a reminder of San Fran. Wonder how much the signed copies will be. I also hadn't realised how bland North Beach is in daylight.

I also hadn't realised how bland North Beach is in daylight. i don't think thats it tracicle. Theres something else. Even Cortland st. looks eerily sterile in this picture. There almost no cars which is unusual (parking is hard during the day in NB and cortland). Also, theres so few people and things like phone and power lines seem to be gone or seem more subtle...

Oh and the blue sky has been edited out which also gives everything a drabber feel.

You're right, vp. It's sort of creepy.
