   What is Picture Mosaics all about?

Visual and graphical technology has evolved dramatically in the past few years. Building on this advance in technology, Picture Mosaics have developed innovative systems and advanced software to help create the very best photo mosaics. This truly creative and incredibly original idea that resonates the "wow" factor exists in many forms that Picture Mosaics are continuing to expand and improve.

Picture Mosaics have created state of the art software and techniques to produce the very best photo and video mosaics possible. Using software that is adaptive depending on the main source image and cells, Picture Mosaics can create the clearest and vivid mosaics WITHOUT superimposing, ghosting, or using large amounts of cell colorization. Many other mosaic companies cheat by superimposing or "ghost" the source image on top of the mosaic or add excess amounts of colorization; this creates a fake or untrue mosaic. Picture Mosaics continually making advances and upgrades to our mosaic algorithms (ie. advanced shape recognition) and techniques as Picture Mosaics find new mosaic challenges. Instead of dividing your source image into strict "tiles" or "squares" as most other mosaic software programs do, Picture Mosaics divide the image "soft zones" which we call as Adaptive Regions™. This unique and groundbreaking concept allows us to adaptively optimize the placement of each photo within your personalized mosaic depending the content of your the source image and the important aspects within it.

Indonesia Jogjakarta Simple Lifestyle in the City

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

When I was in Jogjakarta for my business trip, what impressed me the most was the simple lifestyle of everyone there. Comparing ourselves from the major city and them, they don’t pursue after wealthy and richest, but a simple life where they enjoy the most. I can see they really enjoy their daily life while we always rush from a place to another destination just to earn a living. Isn’t better if we just live a simple life, yet meaningful instead of everyday rush hours?

I manage to get a shot of the people lifestyle where they were playing carrom by the road side. Question is, will you/we play carrom by the roadside and tourist will actually looking at you when you’re playing? I even witnessed with my own eyes that they were sleeping by the roadside or corridor; is not one of them, but many of them… Will you do that?

This is what they call the “Undag” in Indonesia if I’m correct. In Malaysia, we call this “Kereta Kuda”. Well, I think they name it quite nice and advanced comparing Kereta Kuda in Malaysia :D

Of course, one of the main transportation is the trishaw or in Bahasa we call it “beca”. I had this trishaw on every nights with my colleagues, and we will be brought to many streets and places. It was during the fasting month that time, thus we can’t see any interesting stuff, and they closed their shops/doors very early. If you have the chance to be there, make sure you take it. I’m sure you’ll love it. I paid for a ride at RM10 only and I was up there for nearly 45min :D
