Flickr-flavored craftiness

I’m always intrigued by what people can produce by mining & transforming a big image set:

• Symmetry Explorer gathers Flickr search results, then displays them as mirrored pairs.  The results are surprisingly cool.
• Long-time Flickr hacker Krazydad lets you make your own kaleidoscopes from images. [Via]
• Wolfenflickr is Castle Wolfenstein in Flash, with your photos projected onto the walls. [Via]

On non-Flickr but somewhat similar fronts:

• Yearbook Yourself places your face in high school photos from decades past.  I’ve gotten poor results so far, though Jason Kottke fared better.
