This may drive purists up the wall. Apologies beforehand.
I've recently learned about the language processing, where you can write your own visual scripts. Fairly cool stuff. This is a "filter" that basically takes an image and creates a "Chuck Close" version of it using circles and squares.
Nothing cooler than writing your own software to manipulate an image. Kind of like artistic hacking.
I have scripted this to take each pixel and expand it by a radius. So 750 pixels X radius of 10 pixels = 15,000 pixels wide.
Imagine running it against one of your native flower shots. I can hook you up with the script and you can download processing for free. It'll take a lot of RAM, but imaging printing your flower the size of a wall for a museum showing. Let me know if you want to collaborate on this. I am already thinking of adding fire or smoke filters selectively to hues in a photo.
I just saw the Chuck Close show at the SF, and that's the first thing that popped in my mind when this image opened!
very cool! This would be amazing printed *huge*! Have you see this: http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/
all of us at work went nuts with it, and a few people have their entire wall as one HUGE print. You'll see what I mean when you look at the examples. Your new images made me think you just might like this.. if you've not see it yet. I have on on my wall right now that I did in color of "Doctor Who"... life size.
