Amazing Gigapan Inauguration Day Image

To get an idea of the resolution of this thing look at the tall light pole in the center. See the building behind it. Now zoom into the right corner on the roof. The other cool one is that you can almost read the sheet music of the band. And for extra credit, can you find who is sleeping during this event?

Is that a Gameboy in GW’s hands?

Dude, that is a seriously cool image, thanks for posting.

"Is that a Gameboy in GW’s hands? "

Nothing in his hands. He’s just clapping.

If he’s not holding whatever that thing is, it’s defying the laws of physics.

It looks like a booklet or something.

Is that Justice Thomas grabbin’ a little cat nap?

"If he’s not holding whatever that thing is, it’s defying the laws of physics. "

If you zoom all the way in, it looks like it’s the top of a tall water pitcher on the small table next to him.

Everyone else, including VP Cheney, is clapping. I think Pres Bush is too.

We have a winner. Scalia looks anything but thrilled as well.

Check out the screwed up image of the guy in front of Aretha Franklin, and the guy about four seats down. Whatever they did to take this photo, it still has some kinks. It appears like the two guys moved, but you don’t see anything like this effect from people clapping.

Newt Gingrich does not look very amused
.

Yeah it takes a couple of hundred photos and laces them together.

There’s a second guy sleeping too.

Love the dude in the Packers ski cap!

That would be Clarence Thomas. Just another day at the office…

Check out Obi Wan five rows behind the Chief Justice.

I’m digging Pres Bush (41)'s big ass hat. He’s gotta have a warm head with that thing on.

Incredible image! I could spend a lot of time fiddling around with it.

I can’t wait till someone photoshops this so we can have "find the ______ " games.

Where’s Waldo?

Seems there may be a few glitches in the overlay. Check out the black man (facing left) on the main level balcony, just left of the lamp post above the nearest hanging red, white & blue tapestry. Half of his head is missing, and he appears to be wearing stuffed floppy moose antlers on his hat. It looks like another man’s head was in the picture initially, then removed.
