Google Earth

Each one of the subjects in these photos were found by using Google Earth’s 3D mapping technology. These locations were chosen because each one of them is neglected by the 3D program, which leads them to become weird messes of polygonal shapes and figures. I was interested in how Google Earth chooses certain cities and locations to render more clearly and how that affects the feeling of a location when it’s deemed not important enough to receive a full clean render.
