Even before I was a location scout, one of my favorite pastimes was to figure out where in the world places were located in images that have no identification. Sometimes, when there is identification, I don't look, and use it as an additional puzzle for myself.
While I have traveled extensively, of particular gratification is when I can identify a location of a place I have never been. This BDO commercial beckoned me. In the commercial, they mention Latin America, though the architecture was evident. I immediately thought Mexico City, a city I'd love to visit one day. I found the spot: Calle de Tecuba in front of the Museo Nacional de Arte.
I can't say these tests help me in my work, but trying to match up what's in the mind's eye of the creatives with what I can find is a joyous test in itself.
Good sport, try in sometime.
