Last month, I read about this image mosaic generator on Wil Wheaton’s blog. Basically, it harvests images from Flickr and uses them to recreate a big picture using lots of little ones. There are some sample composites on the site, and you can upload your own photo to be turned into a mosaic. No telling how long I sat here and uploaded “Little House” photos, playing around.
The image above is a greatly reduced mosaic of a Laura postcard. Yeah, it looks pretty much like a bad scan of the original photo. If you want to see the huge mosaic (9.4 MB) of Laura it created for me, click HERE. It could take a minute or more to download. I probably won’t leave it online long, since it’s such a band-width sucking monster, so it’s fine with me if you save it or whatever.
There are apparently mosaic generators out there that allow you to use your own images as the base tiles for composite images. How cool would it be to have nothing but LIW photos and LH site photos to do this with??
