Flickr mashups

This was actually a very cool assignment. Flickr offered a number of different ways to play with photos, such as the movie poster or playing card or magazine cover. One application that appealed to me was one that did "beading". This allowed you to upload a picture, which would then be reformatted and displayed as a series of small colored "beads". Looking at these closely, it appears as a random series of dots. From a distance it takes form, and if you blur your eyes, the details are actually in place. Just amazing. I included one I created from a picture of a statue I've always liked "The Dying Gaul" from 3rd century BC Pergamum.
