Animated Traffic: My 10 Favorite Travel Photo Animations

Post from July 25, 2014 (↻ April 19, 2019), filed under and  (feed).

The story of my 18 months of travel around the world, though not including this article, is available as a big but humble e-book: Journey of J.

Last December I launched Animated Traffic. Animated Traffic is an experiment in which I play with photo animations that feed off my eternal journey, of which I’ll share the results.

The material, as of this moment, made for 302 posts covering 4 continents and 19 countries (and 1 safari). 431 posts if I include the queue. Coming up with a list of favorites, like I present here, ended up being a bit of work (during the first round, I picked 40)! But I drilled them down to 10. Including 2 exclusive ones, to be featured officially only in a few weeks. And so here is my personal Top 10, in chronological order.

❧ What’s next? There are 129 animations in line right now as I’m 8 weeks behind with reviewing, editing, and posting. I’m also still traveling. I decided that I’ll run Animated Traffic at least until the end of my trip, and so there will be posts coming in for several more months.

Maybe I’ll post another Top 10 post then—but if you like this work or got curious, why not follow Animated Traffic on Tumblr (the feed’s convenient and works better than Tumblr’s stream)? Cheers!
