John Custodio

He used medium-format film until 2003, and then switched to a 35mm digital SLR. He photographs landscapes in black-and-white and in color, but says that his recent infrared work seems to include qualities of both.

Google will analyze “one trillion” online images

We’re seeing . . . a hundred billion images being captured and made available online every year,” is the amazing statement made by R.J. Pittman, Google’s Director of Product Management for Consumer Search Properties. “There are over 750 million camera-phone-equipped mobile phones . . . sold every year, and over 100 million digital cameras . . . sold every year . . . and these numbers continue to accelerate. We envision, in the not too distant future, a corpus of over a trillion images online.” (To be facetious for a moment, that would make a stack of prints more than halfway to the moon in height, but it would probably fall over. And if we divvied up those trillion images equally, given the current world population of 6.8 billion plus, every man, woman, child, and infant on earth would get 147 photos.) “So for Google, we see a big opportunity to organize the world’s images. And frankly because there are so many of them, it’s a big challenge, and . . . could be a really big value to our users in the future.”

The accompanying graphic—inspired by the all-too-familiar airline safety cards—shows what we call “The Checkpoint Shuffle.”
