This johnnymontes is a pretty good photographer….
instagram.com/johnnymontes
Elaborating on my "gamification of Flickr" observation it would be SJ vs JohnnyMontes head to head for Flickr community votes. A really tough one to call. Plus it expands to a larger forum with Instagram vs. Flickr. SJ is the clear Flickr favorite with the tech edge but Johnnymontes has great color sense and artistic merit overcoming a photo gear handicap -
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson] I was impressed by this one too. Not a straight image search either. More like photo detective work on some keywords, Kuai was important w/o GPS tags, along with being able to rapidly digest images. This is not exactly Yosemite falls, St Francis Church in Taos or the Mona Lisa either. The fact that this does not pop up with straight image search sure shows room for improvement. Still, this is all fairly new and an evolving thing. So what are some of the implications? Anything in public visually interesting on earth is going to be photographed multiple times and posted somewhere. The fact that you and johnnymontes came up with identical photo angles on the subject should say something. What I don’t quite know, I forget what they were calling this effect in a paper I read about searching for sweet spots and angles when people photograph cities, monuments and landscapes. Like when you want a guide photo to popup automatically as a reference – or as a crowdsourced photo presentation. Which is what this resort is doing with Instagram interestingly enough. It should yield better photos than pro photographers over time.
So Image search has sure come a long way. Audio seems to be in the stone age by comparison and you would think video should be easier.
Regardless, it would be interesting to see how people would vote on these two photos and what the reasoning would be. -
Yes, and you only had the Kauai tag to guide you. I have since added Princeville St. Regis tags because his photo had the labels, and I had forgotten where I had taken this! We dropped in a bunch of random lobbies that day on the North Shore looking for a meal and refuge from the pouring rain.

Here is the paper then a larger site. In this case the landmark would be the chandelier at the St. Regis

This has to be cool stuff for all these new sat datastreams. How, who knows. Interesting in any number of ways for photography. http://www.cs.cornell.edu/projects/bigsfm/
