In the beginning

There's some weird website, Infinite Cat, that displays hundreds of photos of cats looking at other cats that are displayed on a PC monitor. Here's the synopsis: "It all began innocently enough when a user on an Apple help web site posted a picture of his cat, Frankie, contemplating the beauty of a flower. Shortly afterwards another user posted a picture of his cat bristling at the image of Frankie on the monitor. I decided this was too much fun and advanced the concept as The Infinite Cat Project which is, simply, cats regarding cats regarding cats in an electronic milieu. If you like this web site then thank your lucky stars that the world is populated with cats, Macs, and people with wayyyy too much time on their hands."

Still don't get it? Well here's a screen shot:

So here's an idea: why not try an Infinite Blogger Project? You know, I'll post a picture of me, and then somebody can take a picture of themselves looking at the photo of me, and then somebody can take a photo of them looking at image of whoever's looking at the photo of me, etc. You know, something sort of like this:

Infinite Sniffer

Does anybody fancy having a go at doing this? Of course, since most people don't want their faces to be shown, it could be difficult, but perhaps a shot of the back of somebody's head might be OK. Weirdos.

Shall I start?

THIS one is the one I'm starting with:

 Tazzy and Piggy

And here is my first effort:

Infinite fuckers

Note: It's much easier and much better for your back if you can get somebody to take the photo for you. I'd have never been able to explain it so it took numerous aborted attempts with the tripod and self timer.

Take it away folks!
