Description
This collage of 12 photographs started out as a project to crash my new computer at work. The photos were taken in Times Square, Easter Weekend, 2004, on a trip to NYC with my sister and two nieces (we had a blast!).
I wanted to see how many layers I could manage in the version of Paint Shop Pro I was running back in 2004. As I added layers it took longer and longer to move the objects on each layer. If I didn't wait it out - not touching the mouse - the program would be "not responding." I learned that with every little change I had to hit the save icon right away. I'm not a patient person by nature, but I developed some while working on this.
The native .pspimage file contains 13 layers, and is 4800x3600 Pixels (16x12 Inches), 300 ppi. I was working at the size of the image I wanted to print. The file, at completion, was 87 MB and took around 10 minutes to save. If I didn't just leave it alone, it surely did crash that computer.
(The official name of this piece is Times^2, but plain text won't let me put the "squared" in correctly.
