Free 4x6 picture project

June 4, 2009 8:34 AM

What to do with all the free 4x6 print credits I have?

I need a artsy project to make use of all the free 4x6 photo print you get for joining a online photo store. I print out lots of personal pictures but have tons of free prints available.
Any ideas would be helpful.

Best answer: ceiling mural using pictures of people looking down into a box that the camera is inside of. Basically it would look like all the people are looking down at you. You are in the box. might be creepy.

Someone at the International Center for Photography in NYC just did a very interesting installation which was several hundred 4x6 photos pinned on the wall in a grid. The pictures were clearly of a series - limbs or figures on a dark background? Firecrackers? - and pinned in sort of a interesting, textured way.

building on the shothotbot comment: if you have ever seen the opening credits of Huff, something like that would be cool... I'm trying to figure out how to realistically recreate it without protruding from the wall too much.

favoriting this because I've got a ton of these credits too.

Response by poster: A big mural of peoples faces (I know) assembled on a blank wall will be my idea.
Thanks for the ideas.
