Mixed Digital Arts Show Down: Google vs Photographer
April 10, 2009
The Telegraph’s story “Google Street View Cameraman in Row with Photographer” is a classic in my opinion. You can read the dead tree full text version here. The nub of the story is that allegedly a Googler was driving one of those Googley, camera vehicles. The idea was to take pictures for Google’s Street View. The Googler allegedly saw a person with a camera photographing the Googzilla-mobile. The Googler driving the car spoke with the individual who was taking pictures. The Telegraph reported:
The Google driver then proceeded to shout at the photographer and said: “Don’t you take pictures of me, mate.” He then asked the photographer to blur his face out of the pictures as Google does in its Street View images. The photographer managed to get about six to eight photographers of the car which had a pole-mounted revolving camera protruding from the top.
Wow. I wonder if I will need a bodyguard when I give a talk that describes what I have learned about Google from open source information. Perhaps I can wear my bunny rabbit ears? No one picks on a bunny.
