… holy moly John – what a stupendous idea and an inspiring result — thanks for sharing this. Just out of curiosity, is Google acting as a sponsor of this (or simply as the virtual host)?
[I believe Google is a sponsor, but I couldn’t swear to it. (Obviously I can’t take any credit!) —J.]
OK – thanks — I’ll search and see how folks can participate and/or join.
… and, since the Google movie was made, there is now a dedicated website for this project: http://www.virtualphotowalks.org and a companion YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/Virtualphotowalks
