Oakland based computer programmer Eric Fischer has a very interesting photo set on his Flickr stream called ‘Locals and Tourists’. The set contains visualizations of various cities (seen above are NYC, San Francisco and London) photo activity of locals and tourists. The geotagging data is represented by different colors, blue = locals, red = tourists and the yellow = photos that are undefined (The info is pulled from public Flickr and Picasa search APIs). I find these infographics to be really interesting, I’ll be sure to go to all the blue areas the next time I travel to a new city/destination, and… I find it to be be no surprise that Hoboken is almost completely blue except for a little spec of red at the Stevens College lookout, which, in my opinion is the world’s best view of Manhattan.
