Is Google taking Street Photography to a new level?  Well I wouldn't call it that exactly, but Google has been mapping the streets around the world for a few years now and we have something very handy called "Street View".  This feature allows you to take a look at a point on a map from the view of a car driving on the road.  Some people see it as invasive, but the resolution of the camera used is so low (no they didn't use a D3x) that you really can't zoom in on anything too much and still distinguish detail.   This isn't your dad's Henri Cartier Bresson photobook by any stretch, but some of these images are very interesting.  Check them out here at http://9-eyes.com/ the tumblr account of Jon Rafman!  And let me know which ones you think are the best and which are the worst.
