Yahoo picks this week highlights Hockney-type collages.
"He probably didn't invent the technique, but he certainly made it famous. Painter David Hockney's photo collages are clever cubist still lifes crafted out of dozens of individual snapshots. Now, he's inspired Flickr shutterbugs to stitch together their own Hockneyesque creations, and thanks to some creative tag searching, you can peruse cut-up masterpieces from all over the world. Our favorites include Stridli's family breakfast scene, BIUS's take on killing time in an Italian traffic jam, and 3Robbers's nifty beach tableau. Sort by "interestingness" to browse the most popular photos first, or delve into the "clusters" if you're looking for something more specific. Hey, guess what? A tag search on "Hockney" brings up a nice portrait of the man himself. (in Photography)"
I looked through here and there's a nice one of a winter cycling scene by Steffe: http://www.flickr.com/photos/steffe/65914328/ This looks a lot like the rural midwest in the winter, although Steffe is in Sweden.

I've gotta check to see if he's behind the Talking Heads' "More Songs About Buildings & Food" album cover.
My bike is a hackneyed collage :-)
cheers, Tom
