Where in the world...?


Here you can view some selected photos in a different context. Click on a green map marker below to see a photo and a corresponding satellite image of its geographical location. You can use the controls on the upper-left of the map to zoom in or out and move around. You can also just grab the map with your cursor and drag to navigate around. Clicking on an image thumbnail will open that image in its associated gallery. You'll also see a filmstrip-bar on the right from which you can choose additional photos to map.

Some of the satellite images are far more resolute than others and those that are can be zoomed in extremely close - to the point where you can clearly see the subject of the photograph in high detail! The map images with less resolution can still give you a sense of context as to where a particular photo was captured. Enjoy!

NOTE: Give the green icons a minute to load - there's a lot of them!
Out with the old and in with the new: China's capital has been undergoing a wholesale refurbishment in anticipation of the 2008 Olympic Games and can now be considered a World Class Capital City. The local economy is on fire and Beijingers are enjoying an unprecedented standard of living and quality of life. The photos in this gallery were shot primarily in and around Beijing's central Wangfujing shopping district, with a few taken in the Sanlitun and Houhai areas. The central theme here - with both of these galleries, actually - is a slice of daily life: ordinary people in the midst of doing what they routinely do in the landscape of modern China.
