Hi Ben,
Yes.. let’s meet. Where are you based?
Daniel
i think that all of the videos are really good. there needs to be some more though!!!!!!!!
they gave me a head ache lolol
aaaarrrgghh they move too fast, my head was so busy freaking out i coudlnt take notes, feel sick now as though i have been on a rollercoaster. maybe a slightly slower version to enable some detsil to be taken in would be great
Love the idea, but wish you would add a map of the route and/or picture points to give some additional context to the video.
Hi there,
As part of my PGCE Secondary Geography course I stumbled upon this website and decided to produce my own (albeit not as good quality) urban photo transect of Bristol, UK.
It’s on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIW3btNGE7U if you’re interested! Happy for you to put it up here too as another example.
Cheers,
Kevin
Hi Kevin! Sorry for the very slow reply. Only just seen your post. It’s so great to see this. I’ve posted up your work:

Any others planned? Did you do this with anyone?
Hi guys,
I’m a secondary Geography teacher and I’ve just started an Urban Earth project with my Yr 7′s. We’re using your concept to (re)present our school environment. So far, the pupils are loving it!!! I’ll let you know how we get on……
How did you get on?
A very cool and a great fast-forward way to explore a city. Look forward to more of this.

Is there a way of changing the speeds of these videos?
Only from the original videos. If you can make this work I’d be happy to get them to you. It would be great to have somewhere online where this was possible.
Hi Daniel,
Do you remember me. I am a student from Waikele Elementary School. Today you came into Mrs. Sakamoto’s calssroom, and we did a mission together. It was fun how we get to name the little people that you gave us! Thanks a lot for coming! And do you remember how i took a picture of Darren with his green balloon and got attracted to the basketball rim? I have a question, how do you make a hat out of the balloon? It took me a long time! Bye
Hello Daniel-
I loved the idea. It is so deep to read the spaces of the cities.
I would like to have your email so I can discuss some ideas I want to take you opinion and guidance.
Best Regards,
Good excellent submit. I think, content is often double. Your site really should have valuable subject material to ensure that folks that call at your web site will pay a visit to all over again later on and also advocate your web blog for much more website traffic. What’s more, every time they tell in relation to your website on their buddies, along with associates go to your blog site, these people find beneficial information as well as reveal for a lot of periods traffic.my business is certainly thinking about starting an online business. i do know nothing at all aboutit. i want to sell off handmade jewelry completely, due to the fact i do know almost nothing in regards to the dropship small business, i will be very leary pertaining to selling an item towards the buyer i always in no way view. is this fact the way it operates? how can i go to find out more on starting an internet business.

Loving this Jim! It’s so cool that you’ve made this. Would you like the video to set music to and upload in your name to YouTube?
Wow, that would be amazing.

It’s appropriate time to make a few plans for the longer term and it is time to be happy. I’ve read this put up and if I may I desire to recommend you few interesting things or tips. Maybe you could write next articles referring to this article. I wish to read even more issues approximately it!
Browsing Facebook I was faced with the reality of how my recent trip to Thailand had failed to be the eye opening, mind expanding wisdom teaching experience I had sought when I saw a friend’s album of her standing in literally the same spot pulling the same pose in the same Chang beer t-shirt. I hadn’t experienced anything but a bubble of a sub-culture which I could have had on an organised cultural event in London of people telling me how Thailand should be experienced, I hadn’t engaged with the location or the inhabitants. The same experience was being regurgitated again and again as people subconciously stay within islands of familiarity borne from friends stories, pictures and guide books. The location has been lost; The geography made obsolete.
I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you make this website
yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you?
Plz answer back as I’m looking to design my own blog and would like to know where u got this from. kudos
For the reason that the admin of this site is working, no question very shortly it will be renowned, due to its feature contents.
