Closer...Closer.. Closer

Advancements in imagery software over the years has been phenomenal. In our lifetime we have gone from printed photos in black and white made out of letters and periods to creating shading, to sloppy thermal prints, to color images that you "could tell was printed on a printer", to printed images that now rival real photos. We have even seen the death of the slide projector. With 5 megapixel cameras that can be purchased for $200 usd anyone can take high quality digital pictures.

Now Zoomify offers as a free download software that allows anyone to create pictures which can be zoomed into for greater detail. In this example, you can zoom in so close that you can see objects in the windows and find people on the sidewalks.

Thanks to James of Puerilis for turning us onto Zoomify!
