DeepZoom Obama

Check out this Masterpiece from Donovan West, at http://www.deepzoomobama.com/

This gigapixel (10000x10000) mosaic image was created from over 12,000 thumbnails uploaded by Obama supporters on www.BarackObama.com. It uses Deep Zoom, a cool new technology from Microsoft in Silverlight. To see Deep Zoom really shine, zoom in on Obama's left eye where you will see a thumbnail of Obama waving. Now zoom deep into that 3000x2200 pixel image. Notice the almost magical speed in which the high resolution images are displayed. Well done Donovan.

UPDATE : You want to put that on our blog or website ? Just put the following code,You can change the height and width according to your needs.Works best with Silverlight2 Beta2.
