Stumbled across a link to an impressive photography project by Chris Jordan, called "Running the Numbers". Have a look at

and click on the first item, "Running the Numbers".

Absolutely true. I got this link from IEEE Spectrum magazine and they described the mobile phone one.

He took 400 old "cell phones", put them in a wooden frame and shot them from above. Then he "stirred" the phones and took one again... and again... and again...
About 200 shots he took, then he worked for two weeks on the borders of these shots to make some tiles. Then he placed the tiles, 1065 in total, so that the repeated pics have good distance and the result looks visually pleasing.
It's not described but I guess he then needed to do the "stitching" work on the edges of the tiles.
Then he sent the 1 gig file to a New York printer (60-inch wide Canon inkjet), mounting, framing and Bob's your uncle.

Well, any plans for the weekend?

And I was dreading merging my 22 'slices' of DoF of a fly's eye taken under my K10D 'microscope'.
