K' Road

Karangahape Road is a famous street in Auckland, known for cafes, boutique shops, nightlife and formerly, for being a rea light district.

Flight charts

Flight charts are interesting, it's like a map that shows you where the plane have flew, with geocoodinates.

Because aerial photography are collected by people taking photos on a plane, then these information will be put together in a big map (like the maps on google earth), flight charts provide a good guidline of how much photos they've taken at each point, and the exact location.

I think this will be a good tool for mapping, each "run" will have a flight line showing the run number and other interesting things, looks like the example above.

Blogging is quite fun^.^
I have been reading Else/Where and LA now
The first book is about mapping all sorts of weird things......
mapping contours &colonies interest me the most, the process leads to some clothes that are made of maps:
The Dress of Faith and Fidelity
The Dress of Here,There,and Other dislocations.
The Dress of propiety and longing
Other interesting topics are mapping skywriting, message in a bottle and conversation.
