Matt Jones' Random Acts of Verbiage

While surfing around the other day, I can across this cool page: the Image Mosaic Generator. Their web based program allows you to upload an image and it will search Flickr for photos that match in color to create the mosaic. It is pretty cool. I think one thing that would make it cooler is if it could search your own photographs (either on Flickr or your hard drive) to create the mosaic. As it stands you don’t have any control over which photos are used. But, regardless, it is still pretty neat. Here is one that I did:

And this is the mosaic creation (you can click for a larger version, but it looks better if you stand far away or view a smaller version…):

Pretty cool, eh? Check it out: Image Mosaic Generator

Thanks for voting! It will only take a few minutes and I really appreciate it! Vote here!
