Wow if I could make this infographic into a poster I would. At the very least it deserves a new place of honor as my desktop wallpaper. Anyway, Eric Fischer has put together a bunch of maps of major cities based on photos uploaded to Flickr. In addition to mapping where the most photos were being uploaded, he also broke the data down into his guesstimation of which ones were taken by tourists and which ones were locals. Here's how he describes the breakdown: "Blue points on the map are pictures taken by locals (people who have taken pictures in this city dated over a range of a month or more).Red points are pictures taken by tourists (people who seem to be a local of a different city and who took pictures in this city for less than a month). Yellow points are pictures where it can't be determined whether or not the photographer was a tourist (because they haven't taken pictures anywhere for over a month). They are probably tourists but might just not post many pictures at all." Check out the full set of maps on Flickr.
