Nice work! Bit of constructive criticism: 1) My first reaction was to attempt to click on the image to go to the source or see the enlarged original. I find that clicking on the image doesn't do anything at all. 2) "Show Map" works fine if what you're searching for is around you, but as it is, I just got a map zoomed on my location and there's nothing at all to see or look at. 3) Scrolling is choppy (Google Chrome) for me. Particularly when a new background image is being loaded. Maybe provide an option to turn off the background image for those who experience the same or want a slightly cleaner look? Cool job though. I've bookmarked it for when I'm looking for visual stimulation for ideas.

Thanks for your comment. I'm happy to hear you've bookmarked the site! My response to your criticism: 1) Good point. Originally, clicking the images would take you to the source page. I removed that functionality because it messed up the experience for touch devices. I'm going to add it back in for desktops in a few minutes. 2) The map is sort of a "look ahead" feature. That is to say, it's value will rise as more and more location-based images are shared. I'm rather impressed with the quality of content currently available around major metro areas. 3) Curious to know what hardware you're using. I'll add a way to turn off the background in a few minutes. Thanks again.

    Thanks for the info... I haven't made the change yet because I'd like the "off-switch" to be as elegant as possible. But rest assured, it will be there soon and it will be awesome :) The images should be clickable now.
