"Everyone has a favorite place in the world, whether it's a special vacation spot, an alma mater, or a favorite sports venue," said Steve Jennings, vice president of marketing for DigitalGlobe.

"Our partnership with Bird's Eye Images lets people choose an image from hundreds of popular locations on Earth, and own an art-quality print of that place, at a very affordable cost."
