Resistance is Futile

Every single time I stumble across one of these photo mosaics I think, "Oooh! I want one!" I am not exactly sure why, but I do. So, I caved. Resistance is, indeed, futile.

"Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle." ~Lewis Carroll, Author

My mosaic:


What I typed:
1. Elizabeth "My God is an Oath"; 2. Chocolate Peanut Butter; 3. "Rift Valley Academy"; 4. Black, Black, Black; 5. James McAvoy; 6. Java Java Java; 7. "1000 Places to See"; 8. "I'll take that!"; 9. Professional Traveler; 10. unique madness; 11. wordnerd; 12. ET (I used my initials instead).

What popped up:
1.
Elizabeth or Elisabeth, 2. Peanut butter filled chocolate cookies, 3. RVA Rugby Crest, 4. I love black,black black!, 5. James Mcavoy, 6. Java java java!, 7. neuschwanstein, 8. Strawberries, 9. Professional traveler, 10. weather remote, 11. Wordplay in The Green Room by candlelight, 12. "Immense et Rouge"

Here is what to do if you would like to create your own mosaic:

4. What is your favorite color?

5. Who is your celebrity crush?

9. What you want to be when you grow up?

10. What do you love most in life?

11. One Word to describe you.

12. Your flickr name.

"There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic." ~Anais Nin, Author

The 3 blank spaces are due to people that opted out of that mosaic application. Apparently, they thought they were Gustave Le Gray.

@meaghan ~ I know!! I think I'm an addict. Some version of this may become a weekly feature for me. I'm obsessed w/ photography anyway.
