Neverending Photooooo

What if you looked at a photo under a microscope and discovered a world of photos inside that one?

That’s the idea behind the Infinite Photograph, a giant mosaic composed of some 300,000 photos submitted to National Geographic’s My Shot program.  You click on the first image, then go deeper and deeper into the mosaic, and find mosaics within mosaics.  Curiouser and curiouser.

Here’s a video that shows how it works.

From the Upcoming ueue, submitted by Marilyn Terrell.

    Now that scene in Blade Runner makes much more sense.

    Just like the Mosaic screensaver in Mac OS – in reverse.

    I think Cheese Duck (comment above) got it right.

    Nothing magical, just a lot of linked frog photos…but still and nice idea (illusion).

    @Jill: the video is just a quickie intro, the real thing is here: http://www.thegreenguide.com/infinite-photograph

    And if you double-click on an image you’ll get the photographer’s data.

    Not quite the same thing, but have fun with it if you’re a Flickr user.

    It’s delightfully fractal-icious.
