Okay, I want to get a bit interactive with you if you’ll allow me. You lot seem utterly unmoved by my writing so I have decided to try a new approach, just for fun.

I need you to stand up and step away from your computer. In fact I need you to step about five or six feet away from your computer by close enough to it so you can still see the screen. Once you do this the picture above will, or at least it should, reveal itself to you. – Go ahead try it.

(Ah come on, be a sport, don’t just sit there, get interactive. get out of that seat!)

So, did you see it? An American flag right? The rest is a little hard to make out but as the picture on the right reveals it’s a painted mailbox. Only the picture above is made up of nearly two thousand one hundred pictures I’ve taken the last four years in America.

A closer inspection of the picture will reveal those 2092 images to you. It’s got a few faces in it that a number of you will recognize. There’s Erin and Amy Davis, Matt and Jude, Jess, Roy and maybe a few more, I haven’t had a close enough look myself yet.

The pictures were chosen and arranged by some clever software. All I did was chose the original image I wanted to create a Mosaic of. It took hours and hours to compile and has created an image roughly as big as a highway billboard! I’m going to create a couple more, but I’ll mess around with the setting for those. In fact I think this first one isn’t all that great as the mosaic image itself wasn’t the best choice.

The original image was taken a couple of years ago in New England near Rockport, north of Boston. However the mosaic image comprises of pictures taken in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Oregon, Washington, California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Georgia, Indiana, North Carolina, West Virginia, and of course Texas.
