Same But Different - or is it?

An odd task. Take lots of pictures of the same objects and categorise them somehow, adding an interactive interface.

We chose kebab boxes as there are hundreds of them littering our streets. We all took a few pictures - which was fine. Then people started to loose focus. I will certainly admit to loosing a sense of purpose. We didn't agree on how to categorise the pictures until too late to spend a lot of time on it.
We had the idea of making each picture look like a crime scene (despite being told to keep the pictures as original data) so I put some crime scene tape across the pictures (left).

We had the idea of making the interface a map of the town centre, showing the location of each box, with a link to it's picture and details, and the location of the kebab houses and student halls - to see if there was an obvious correlation. Due to bad communication about 3 people started to make the interface and none of them got finished. Below is my attempt.
