A childhood walk on Google Streets

Posted by Anne on June 30, 2010

I recently stumbled upon a very personal project on Ze Frank. I invite you all to do this little exercise. It’s useful for the memory, the heart and also for the ones around you.

It goes like this:

Think of a path it was known to you as a child. Your way to school, to your grandparents’ house, to the bakery.

Look it up on Google Street View or just picture it in your mind.

Write down any kind of memory or feeling it brings you. Then, take a photo of it and there you go with your new piece of old personal history which may at some point inspire someone.

And that is more or less like a very cool contribution to the world.
