A Spatial Long Exposure

Location history and geotagged photographs collapsed into a single undated map.

This is a long exposure made from my location history and the coordinates embedded in my photographs. Every recorded location is shown at once; visit dates, capture dates, and durations have been removed.

Source coverage: December 22, 2008–July 28, 2026. This range applies to the collection as a whole; no location is associated with a public date.

Location history and geotagged photographs, shown without individual dates · drag to move · scroll or pinch to zoom

Each point comes from a recorded visit or a geotagged photograph. Lines connect consecutive stops in the location history, but they are not literal travelled routes. Without beginnings, endings, or a timeline, the map is less an itinerary than an accumulation of presence.

See Walks for individual routes, photographs, and journal excerpts.
