Interesting article on software that will rebuild a photograph by selecting areas from images on such services as Flickr.
While it does raise the spectre of more image theft on the web it could also be a boon to professional photographers. While stripping has been around for some time this might greatly reduce the amount of time required to alter a photo. The use of 'elements' of a photo in stock photography may become much more in demand.
And of course it leads into the debate of what is a photograph.
Where's the fun in that? But, what do I know? I didn't get the attraction of the iPod either. Hey, I have an idea: the image shuffle. It will automatically creates pictures by combining elements from a bunch of elements you collect. Our ability to handle vast quantities of data is changing the way we do everything. Then again.... I'll still be poking around outside with a tripod on my shoulder.
