Love it. If a journalist can get nominated for a pulitzer for curating social media into a story. Maybe we will start seeing photo stories curated from google images. :)

I'm a big Cartier-Bresson fan, but Google-mobile has automatically captured some pretty powerful images even without conscious human intervention.
Although the sheer number of images captured dictates that there's going to be some 'stunners' it does raise the question of what and where and by whom 'art' is created? The photographer? The observer? The moment?
