I upload all the photos I took during my mapping journeys. I'm not a
photographer and I'm sure a photographer would abhorr those pictures.
Sometimes taken from a riding bicycle or a moving horse... They are meant
to be informative, that's all.

Openstreetview.org will never be a direct competitor to GSV, as we simply
don't have the technology nor the manpower nor the server space to make and
store panoramic photos every 15m.
