In 2011, New York-based designer and entrepreneur Mike Bodge created an equation and a website to answer a simple question:

Bodge writes that he's working on expanding his project to include images and sky colors from around the world. "Do you have a great view, a webcam, and an internet connection?" he writes. "I'd love to hear from you. Please get in touch."
