Flower Kaleidoscope
Image made with my Make your own kaleidosope toy, which can make kaleidoscopic images from photos (including your Flickr photos).
I've been working on adding a 'save as JPEG' feature to this tool, and this is the result of one of the first tests with it.
Since the feature can't be accomplished in Flash, I added a server-side component. When you press the JPEG button, the Flash interface loads a PHP webpage which invokes a Perl script that reconstructs the image using ImageMagick.
You can get a cool effect if you use the resulting JPEG image as raw material for a new kaleidoscope (making a feedback fractal kaleidoscope)....
