Addicted to Camera Phones II - Tracking my Life

After watching the video that Seren posted yesterday, I began to think about the statement Chase Jarvis started with: "quite literally, the best camera is the one that's with you." I've had my iPhone for about a year and a half now, and using its camera, I've shot just under 1,000 pictures. The part that amazes me the most, is that through this process, each photograph is tagged with GPS data, pinpointing where the photograph was taken. So what does this mean? For over a year, I have somewhat of a visual receipt of my life - photographs that can be traced to exact moments and places in time and space, documenting not only what I saw, but where and when I saw it.

I think the answer lies ahead, as the body of work grows. To show some images today, I chose to take the photographs from my iPhone and pair them with their locations on a map, and time. Hopefully this format can provide an extended context for the pictures:
