The cleverness of computers

In 2007, when Vince turned 60, our sons created this poster-size photo of him. It is made of dozens of tiny images of other photos of ours. They used some software package to make the mosaic picture. After the party we were showing it to my mother would have been 97 at the time. We were able to show some of the photos from which the big one was made and she was blown away. Computers were a bit of a mystery to her.
Anyway for some reason we left it with her and blow me down, she had it framed. It wouldn’t have been cheap to do because, as I mentioned, it’s poster-size. It hung in her lounge until she died in 2014. Now we don’t know what to do with it. It’s a bit big to hang in the toilet (that’s a joke).

Pantry? Well, here in Alabama we use that size of pictures to scare the crows fro out gardens.

I have seen similar photo collages, but this is special because it is of your husband. There should be some place to display it.

You should donate it to the local golf club that Vincent plays at most frequently, and tell them to mount it on their wall of shame. I mean wall of fame! haha
That is a very stunning photo of your husband. Might be a good one to hold on to for awhile.

What a neat idea, and very clever of them to do. Hmm, maybe in a hallway.

That's a possibility. We'll have to find somewhere for it.

@arthurchappell We couldn't believe she got it framed as it was not like her to spend money like that on non-essentials.

That's amazing. What a terrific gift from your sons, too.
As for what to do with it, replace the frame with some concrete and bash one of those flat earthers over the head to prove you do exist.

@JudyEv -- truth be told, it would probably just hurt the concrete....

It is incredible how it's made up of tiny photos. The white bits are mostly this photo.
