I was recently at an event in Boston, MA hosted by United Way, and I saw something that really caught my eye. And was perfect for this site. I noticed some sort of moving photo mosaic on a large, HD monitor with a green screen next to it. Upon further inspection, I found that you could have your photo taken on the spot and watch as your photo was added to the mosaic on the monitor. I wish I could say I was surprised when I approached the mosaic attendants only to find out that this real-time interactive mosaic was created and hosted by our friends at Picture Mosaics.

I was catching up with a friend from Montreal recently who told me about an interesting festival that was approaching. Apparently, throughout the weekend of August 16th-18th, Canadian Living Magazine is inviting Canadians nationwide to submit their photos to an online, streaming photo mosaic for their 2013 PhotoFest! Right away, I went to the website to explore as much as I could, and to my surprise I found out that this streaming mosaic concept was provided by Picture Mosaics, whom I’ve written about in the past.

Have you ever looked at a photo or a piece of art for what feels like an eternity?  Your eyes continue to scan over it. There’s something about it keeping you fixated, but your mind just can’t seem to grasp its mystery.  In my web-travels, I stumbled upon an article on PetaPixel featuring the work of Bela Borsodi, a New York-based photographer who has particularly framed this photo to yield very interesting results!

Since I wear glasses on a daily basis, I definitely am someone who would be lost in the world without my glasses! I’ve been a Transitions girl for 5 years now and I would never turn back! Having fanned them on Facebook, a recent post immediately caught my attention. The post read, “In honor of World Sight Day, we present the largest photo mosaic in the world! We broke the Guinness Book of World Records!”

A friend of mine on Facebook shared a link on my wall of the most adorable mosaic, the 2012 First Cheerios Mosaic! It is an interactive online mosaic reaching out to parents to be a part of a photographic monument. This is an excellent way for families to celebrate together one of their toddler’s momentous “firsts”!

As a photographer and art enthusiast, I am always intrigued when I come across an innovative art form or technique. I was looking at a sketching tutorial on YouTube recently and this video came up of an artist who creates portraits in one single pen stroke. Artist, Chan Hwee Chong recreated these famous portraits by precisely drawing one single line in a swirling motion.

Has anyone seen the cover for TV Guide magazine this week? Issue: May 21-27,2012. It’s a portrait of Hugh Laurie, the actor who plays the star role in the television show House.
