Cool thing to try on the web: Zumyn! What was once (about 15 years ago?) an original and innovative artform is now available for anyone with a large stock of digital photographs, a broadband connection, and some patience. Zumyn offers you the opportunity to create an enlarged version of any photograph you care to upload, constructed by puzzling together hundreds (or thousands, if you have them) thumbnails of other photographs. The results are, in a word, amazing.

For instance, check out the photograph this post opens with. It’s a not-too-sharp version of me receiving my WotF 2004 award, right? Wrong! It’s a mosaic of 578 photographs of the WotF 2004 week, my road trip through the southwestern States, and the WotF 2005 week. And how about the picture on the right? Is that the "you may kiss the bride" moment on my September wedding? Wrong again! This time, it’s a composite of no less than 729 photographs of the Tenerife trip I proposed to her, the wedding itself, and our honeymoon.

After uploading the photo’s, Zumyn takes only a couple of minutes to construct the mosaic. For entertainment, it saves a slideshow of the process, so you can see the site collage together your photographs and watch in amazement as your target image slowly emerges. And you can order enlarged prints of the final product, or even have a high-quality print on canvas framed and delivered!

How cool is that?
