How many words do you need to describe a picture?

The project is a collection of photographs taken in 100 random locations in a 3km (less than 2 miles) square around the Market Cross of Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, UK.

Every location has a title based on the What3Words addresses. What3Words is a service that assign a combination of three words to any three meter square on Earth. The 100 random locations were selected inside a grid of 999x999 candidates (998,001 possible locations). The punctuation in the titles is mine.

The photos contains at least a portion of the randomly generated three meter square.Some artistic license has been applied.

For the nerds

This is the code for the generation of the grid, while this is the code for the website.
