Thanks. I took pictures of myself against a wall with a Canon Powershot A40 (oldie, goodie). My brother took some of the shots it would have been difficult for me to get.

Even before I ever heard of Hockney I had wanted to do something of this nature, mainly because my 2 Mpx camera prevented me from doing large prints. What if I combined many detail shots into one big one, I thought... and obviously, there's nothing new under the sun.

Anyway, the files were then processed in Photoshop for optimal color etc. and placed on a 5x5 canvas where I moved them around.

I didn't put too much thought into this and I only had about 30 pictures to work with, so I deviated from Hockney in allowing myself to scale and crop the 'pieces.' Now that I've got a taste for it, I'll try doing something more ambitious.

This photo has been included on iPods sent to US Senators as part of the iPac "Your Senator needs an iPod" program.

(Apparently they send iPods to Senators to educate them about intellectual property issues in the digital age; they've included 101 Creative Commons-licensed Flickr images on the iPods. I've got nothing to do with them, except that one of my images was included as well.)
