:: The verve of some people ::

Wednesday, April 21, 2004

I'd been seeing photo-mosaics popping up lately, so I thought I'd try my hand at one. A conversational misunderstanding while discussing previous mosaics provided the impetus (Ashcroft vs. Ashcroft - not to be confused with Kramer vs. Kramer). Click for larger sizes.

This was much harder than I'd anticipated. It required the compilation of over 2,000 images pulled from magazine shoots, album covers, concerts, and video footage. The videos in particular were difficult, as frames needed to be screen-captured at one-second intervals and sliced up into individual images. In retrospect, some could argue that it was futile to devote so much time to subject matter in which I have only marginal interest (I respect his work, but there are plenty of bigger fans out there). I would rebut that line of argument with: "Sir or Madam, it was the journey, not the destination." Then I would grin smugly, and go back to reading Chicken Soup for the Soul.
