Capturing the World One Pin at a Time.

There’s something truly exciting about seeing your own photographs appear on Google Maps — a visual trail of places visited, memories made, and moments captured. I’ve always loved photographing different locations, whether it’s a landmark, a tucked-away viewpoint, or something as simple as a bridge. But what I enjoy even more is the process of adding those images as pins to the map. 🌍✨

With each photo uploaded, a tiny footprint is left behind — not just for me, but for others navigating the same roads. It’s rewarding knowing that someone searching for a viewpoint, a historic church, or a hidden gem might find my photo helpful in making their own travel decisions.

For those who don’t want to share photos publicly, there’s a great option in the form of GeoPhoto, a paid desktop app. 📸🗺️ It displays your geotagged images right on a map interface — and seeing those little image bubbles popping up all over is such a satisfying experience. I’ve used it to explore my own journey visually, and it’s amazing how much ground you can cover over time.

To me, travelling is about adding new pins — each visit, each capture, a new place marked. Maybe one day I’ll finally buy one of those cork pin board world maps and start marking the spots physically too. Until then, I’ll keep using my camera and Google Maps to trace the road behind me.
