Simply amazing. David Bergman, photographer extraordinare, managed to piece together a 1,474 megapixel image of President Barack Obama’s inaugural address, using some seriously high tech equipment, the result of which is an extremely complex & detailed image of the entire crowd. While I don’t know if you can download the whole thing – it would probably be huge if you could – you can “browse” the image at his website, zooming in on the crowd along the mall wherever you please. It’s a moment of history, frozen in time forever: with some hilarious results.
You see, if you zoom in on the President, it’s hard to miss the assembled Supreme Court immediately behind him: you’ll notice Scalia’s glowering visage immediately, along with the ever-cherubic Roberts, and – yes – the snoozing Associate Justice Clarence Thomas:

Clockwise from left: Roberts, C.J.; Breyer, J; Thomas, J; Ginsburg (?), J; Pres. Obama; Scalia, J.; Stevens, J.
Wow. That’s all I have to say. Then again, maybe he’s just resting his eyes? More pictures below the line:

President Bush, looking more than a little miffed; Dick Cheney, looking normal, which is to say angry.

Comment by Ames January 23, 2009 @ 6:20 pmWhat’s with Cheney in a wheel chair? Was the life force he was absorbing from the nation all that was keeping him alive?
