Hundreds of Tourist Photos Weaved into One (18 total) (via Neatorama)
We found this little fellow in the garage preparing dinner. Despite a sultry summer, we’ve been free of flies and I figure it’s all thanks to Team Cellar Spider.
Right now, Amazon has a great deal on a Seagate 5TB external hard drive. It’s $110 (the same price as the 4TB mode). I’ve been looking for a way to back up all the computers in my household (with Time Machine) and I might buy this. I think can just create several partitions on it […]
With the cacophony of an election year ablaze with unparalleled drama being fought on the front lines of Twitter, we find ourselves slowing down and staring at it like a bad accident. The need for escapist relief is perhaps more dire than usual right now. This fall, if it’s drama you crave, but the Hillary […]
If you’re running low on MacBook storage, your options are pretty limited. External hard drives mean toting around another piece of bulky equipment, and you probably don’t want a USB stick constantly protruding from your laptop.That’s why the Nifty MiniDrive for MacBooks is such a desirable alternative, and one of our top tech finds this year. You can add […]
Next time you forget a birthday or anniversary, take our advise and try out The Bouqs Company. We discovered this rapidly growing flower company last year, and its quick delivery and beautiful bouquets have come through every time.For $35, you can get $50 worth of flowers, which The Bouqs Company cuts from sustainable farms. This allows them to […]
If you’ve ever seen a drone video, you know the footage blows traditional pictures and GoPro footage out of the water. And if you’re like us, you’ve been itching to get your hands on a drone of your own ever since. We fly the Code Black Drone with HD Camera because it’s both a quality camera drone, and […]

Nice body of work. Did something similar a couple of years ago out at Monument Valley, using CreativeCommons-licensed works: http://www.flickr.com/photos/notchcode/209558752/
Neat to see it done with some of the other great wonders of the world!
Those are very impressive! The technique makes the pictures look like sketches turned into watercolor paintings. I really love them!
Finnish artist Eeva Karhu does similar scenes, only taking all the photos themselves – to an evoking effect:

I love the countless ghostly afterimages of so many people passing through the shots… it feels like the weight of history.
The haunting one of the WTC brings to mind the fact that we have crossed a temporal threshold some time since the dawn of photography, and fewer moments are lost to time… imagine revisiting this project in a hundred years, with the density of millions of overlapping images and the ability to zoom/scroll time periods (or other metrics). Or even longer time periods, showing erosion and urban decay.
Man, these are stunning. Not just as beautiful works of art, but also as interesting cultural references. I love how the technique seems to turn everything into a painting by JWM Turner – that shifting-light, dreamy, ethereal, netherworld-y kinda look. It’s almost like the visual equivalent of passages from some of Mervyn Peake’s work.
It looks Aragorn has summoned the army of the undead.
Warning, abuse of the term “meta” detected…
Then again, this blog also abuses the term “zen” (looking at you, Xeni).
Metazen comment you’ve got there.
Looking at these photos, I can’t help but think that this is what Quantum Mechanics would look like if it operated on a slightly more macro scale.
Superposition of de Broglie waves, ftw!
So in that metaphorical frame of quantum effects, would sex be “making the Bose-Einstein with two backs?”
Beijing is finally embracing transparency.
I’ve long thought about doing this, but more precisely by placing the shots in 3D space at the angle and distance they were taken. Then you could have a slider that moved forwards and backwards in 3D time!.
@EH check out Microsoft’s Photosynth project:

Gorgeous. It looks like there are three good “picture spots” for Mecca.
Reminds me of this: averaging every Garfield strip from 2007.

It’s fascinating what you can pick out.
sort of like a folksy version of photosynth. (photosynth takes a bunch of photos and puts them together into 3d scenes – there’s a TED talk of the prototype of it.)
Great stuff.
I never understand why Stonehenge is included in these things. I popped in there in passing the other week (for the first time – despite it only being a couple of hours away) and was terribly disappointed. It’s tiny! I felt like I was at a Spinal Tap tribute installation.
This is Boing Boing at its best. Now, if we can cut out the steampunk stuff, life will be perfect …
I agree Maddy, this ‘steampunk’ stuff leaves me cold.
here are some from a guy named Jason Salavon:

i tried my hand at doing some, a while back. the results were .. meh.. but it was fun.

Does anyone know how to create this (averaging pixel) effect?
This is pretty much a visual cliche along the lines of tilt-shift and HDR. I wonder what’ll be the next one… There’s an American artist some time ago who averaged out all the covers of Playboy and the British artist who merged all of the Bechers’ industrial photography – used on the covers of English indie band The Editors: http://www.editorsus.com/.
