Street View and Photography

This post is prompted by an essay by Geoff Dyer entitled:
The Believer: "Street View: On Photographers' Appropriation of Google Maps" 
In it, he talks about the work of three photographers - Doug Rickard, Michael Wolf and Jon Rafman, all of whom are photographers that mine Google Street View and represent our environment back to us.
