Google Maps 45° failures in real life using photoshop

I assume he's taking stitching artifacts from Google Maps and making mockups of what they might look like from the ground. It's a bit hard to see that at first because Street View exists. Note that the vantage points from the ground are where pedestrians might plausibly go.

That's it exactly. She's taken stuff from her photo portfolio and warped it to match the Maps aerial photography. It's brilliant! But it probably has more impact for me since it's where I'm living and I've seen many of these buildings quite recently.

The Google maps views are pretty good for what I would assume is an automated (or mostly automated) stitching process; locally consistent, and the discontinuities seem to occur between buildings.
