So last week I had an awkward run-in with someone I’ve known for about a year, but didn’t know very well. I think I must have had too much to drink the night when we had first chatted because I didn’t recall the conversation and asked the exact same stupid question twice. I asked about another friend of mine from the same city and both times the person said that they didn’t know my friend. I felt rather embarrassed by it all to say the least. Well yesterday I decided to download Rochester, New York<\/a>, the city they both were from, and it just so happens that while this map was rendering I found the other person I had been asking about. Interesting. <\/p>\n

The geography featured in this map is called the Inner Loop<\/a> of Rochester, New York. The source aerial photography<\/a> was taken at 1 foot per pixel in April of 2005, but in order to fit the entire downtown area into a managable tessellation I reduced the spatial resolution by one half to 2 ft per pixel or 4X less spatial information. I really like the tonal variation of the Genesee River<\/a>, it reminds me of the rivers in the Pittsburgh Quilts<\/a>.<\/p>\n
