Geotaging

As most photo advocates are aware, Geotagging it is now easier than ever. It's exciting to see software companies such as iPhoto picking up the ability to geotag after the fact. A few years back I was interested in the Nikon point and shot cameras because I really wanted to be a geotag. at the time geo-tagging in the camera was the only option; however now you can get SD cards that you can geo-tagged with any camera that runs on an SD card.

I feel like we are embarking upon the fourth dimension of photography. I look forward to the days where we can go to website and type in a longitude latitude coordination's - wait for the search engine to scrolls all of the different media feeds and/or Flickr; Facebook and other photo album sites for images that were shot at the co ordinance then display the living history. Over period of time years decades; we the Internet users will be co creating this living history of a specific site and/or area. What trees were there? When houses were there? When mountains where there? The color of the sky of the water. In a very geeky way I find this incredibly exciting and I'm looking forward it.
