What a unique and cool idea! I really like all the red in the image from the streetcar and taxi. It took me a while to figure out the second image (I didn't realize I had to move my cursor across it to see it move so I kept trying to reinstall flash and then blame my computer for not being able to fix itself lol). Would it be possible to have a wallpaper of the first image? Thanks!
Posted by Khadeeja at March 13, 2007 03:15 AMthis is utterly cool! better than playing with bubble wrap ; )... thank you for my today's distraction of the day
Posted by Susie at March 13, 2007 03:22 AMThat's really amazing! Love it!
Posted by sharky at March 13, 2007 03:55 AMGreat idea, Sam - the hard horizontals of the tram make both work so well. Did the idea come from the images, or did you plan it before you shot?
Posted by quentin slikely at March 13, 2007 04:27 AMI love this kind of 'interactive' photos, it's an extremely original way of presenting your work.
I think that the wire mess it's like a ceiling, don't you?
Posted by alberto at March 13, 2007 04:57 AMThat is soooo cool.
Posted by Cuidado at March 13, 2007 05:25 AMit's really nice!
Posted by simon at March 13, 2007 05:27 AMAbsolutely impressive. You are always one step ahead. Your work is really inspirational.
Posted by BarcelonaPhotoblog at March 13, 2007 05:42 AMSo creative. Impressive. You encourage the rest of us to think more creatively. Keep it up.
Posted by Andy at March 13, 2007 05:54 AMI love this picture. A combination of the power lines above and the tracks below made it look like you chopped it into 49 sections instead of only 7. Took me a bit to see it as only strips. What a great idea!
Posted by mpbk at March 13, 2007 05:57 AMthis is what Sam Javanouh is all about! great shot welcome back !
Posted by Ryano at March 13, 2007 06:32 AMNow that is incredibly cool use of the internet technologies photography! (Nice picture, too!)
Can you make a version of the above picture too? Or maybe I'll just steal the idea and do something for myself.. If I may?
Posted by Jeppe at March 13, 2007 06:38 AMgreat work! Interactive picture is very interesting!
Posted by blind at March 13, 2007 06:56 AMI got turned on to your site through another photographer-friend-blogger. I could go on and on like most people praising your stuff, but instead I'll pour another glass of gin and enjoy the work. I like the daily concept of posting. It's something I also do (only with writing; I"m terrible at seeing the world through a lens not my own). Thaks for this.

Cool!
Posted by Jeremy at March 13, 2007 07:11 AMhey this is fun! :-)
cool concept and presentation!
Wow...at first I thought it was a shot off of a curved and segmented mirror. This is fantastic and incredibly creative. Well done.
Posted by Oko at March 13, 2007 07:52 AMI love this. Your flash animations are so much more interesting due to your skills as a photographer. Kudos!
Posted by Mark at March 13, 2007 08:01 AMSam, you're always one step ahead of everyone else. Good on ya! Really like the interactivity you've built into this on. Would you consider saying more about the flash process you do once you've got you're several stills? Would you consider sharing your FLA template? Cheers!
Posted by Daniel Seguin at March 13, 2007 08:29 AMIs it possible to know how do you do that.
Wow I love the flash sequence on this one, it gives life to the picture. Your blog would be even nicer if you posted more things like these once in a while! Have you ever tried to make 3D pictures like those pop-up books? A bit tricky but it can turn out really stunning.
Thanks for sharing your work as always :)
Sam, This is really awesome. It reminds me of your downtown strips montage but I like this transition better between the strips. Keep up the good work.
Posted by Ed at March 13, 2007 09:42 AMGreat Pic! I find it fascinating you can see the overhead wires raise just a bit as the bus/trolley goes by. Thanks for your pics. I look forward every morning to seeing a new one.
Posted by Jeff at March 13, 2007 09:49 AMthat's pretty sweet!
Posted by dave at March 13, 2007 10:01 AMThat's awesome!! I like the picture (multiple shots in 1 pic). Can I have your permission to attempt to do something like that?
Posted by Eric at March 13, 2007 10:08 AMMe and my co-workers had so much fun today with your shots...thanks Sam!
I wish you and your family a happy persian new year :)
exquisite!!!
Posted by Vahid at March 13, 2007 10:42 AMReally neat effect - makes you feel like you are right there on that street.
Posted by Steve Cherry at March 13, 2007 10:44 AMBonjour,
Well done and stunning effect! bravo!
While the flash version doesn't really do anything for me, I really like the stitched version--it's different and has a neat look to it.
Posted by Geoff at March 13, 2007 10:50 AMbeyond cool...something new/fresh
Posted by Abraham at March 13, 2007 11:38 AMCool idea, inspiring! I guess you took the seven pictures within roughly four seconds? I like that the cars and tram are moving, that one can see the movements (not so short exposure) and that you combines it like it was a long exposure shot over several seconds. Good work! And playing along with your interactive version is fun ;)
Posted by Erik at March 13, 2007 11:40 AMThis is really cool. How did you do that. It works perfectly still too.
Posted by pedro at March 13, 2007 12:22 PMVery cool!
Posted by dannyone at March 13, 2007 12:33 PMEssentually, you're showing a movie.
Nice idea!
What an incredible idea.
Posted by Etienne at March 13, 2007 12:50 PMWow!! That is brilliant! Great job!!
Now I feel I have to go out and be more creative... you are a great inspiration! Thank you!
Posted by blolive at March 13, 2007 02:12 PMGreat idea! I like the composition a little less than all your other ones, although I like how you see the powerlines of the tram move like some sort of wave.
Great work anyways:)
Wicked Sam! Love the top image and the flash is very cool.
Posted by Brant at March 13, 2007 02:55 PMfresh idea...excellent execution...thanks sam. :)
Posted by Kiana at March 13, 2007 03:36 PMwow sam, that's really spectacular. well done.
Posted by emi at March 13, 2007 03:56 PMI moved my mouse and think I was just hit by a red car!
Somebody call my lawyer. :^)
That is brilliant! Awesome!
Posted by patrick at March 13, 2007 04:26 PMso Cool!!!! it's great idea... I loved
Posted by Karo at March 13, 2007 04:45 PMFreakin cool! Do please write up a little how-to if you can, im sure hundreds of people around the world would thank you!(On top of that list would be me ofcourse..)
Posted by Hitesh Sawlani at March 13, 2007 04:54 PMResting the camera on a newspaper box is the way to do it. I do it all the time when I don't have a tripod handy :)
(gloves are great for changing the angle the camera is on.)
Great idea ! Good work !!!
Posted by Maarten at March 13, 2007 06:11 PMCan we add some sound effects of the taxi driving by?
That's pretty cool. The flash file can be constructed with 7 retangular symbols juxtasposed like the first image, and you can just add the mouseOver clip event to each of them to turn the visibility of those 7 images on and off, which are already in the scene hidden. The fancier way would be to load those images as movieClips into the swf as different levels. (just my 2 cents)
awesome work, well done.
Posted by reza at March 13, 2007 07:21 PMOriginal and impressive. Thanks Sam
Posted by Peter at March 13, 2007 07:29 PMThat's so awesome!! =)
Posted by Lea at March 13, 2007 08:04 PMthis is so amazing!! love the concept
Posted by rebecca at March 13, 2007 09:19 PMLOVE this!!
Posted by karen at March 14, 2007 12:02 AMCoooolest ever!!
Posted by Ali at March 14, 2007 03:07 AMExcellent as always!
Posted by AA at March 14, 2007 06:03 AMExcellent, Sam - I was wondering when your next new idea would come and hey presto! Great job and keep it up at least to inspire us...
Posted by Mohamed at March 14, 2007 06:32 AMThe flash is wonderful on this image.
Posted by Brenda at March 14, 2007 10:43 AMOn your blog, in the past one year I'v seen a loot of good stuff like this one....but man, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING "I dont know how to describe" IN WHOLE PHOTO BLOGOSFERE!!!
Posted by Kruno Debenc at March 14, 2007 12:37 PMAmazingly creative. Wow!
Posted by Abe at March 14, 2007 02:50 PMi like the creativity behind this shot. and the final result actually looks very interesting :)
Posted by armeen at March 14, 2007 07:22 PMlove this!
Posted by Serena at March 14, 2007 10:03 PMvery cool, great idea!
Posted by Robert at March 15, 2007 05:49 AMOh, you give a surprise, again!
Posted by gracelow at March 16, 2007 01:30 AMAfter reading all of the comments, I think Sam should go on tour. He can give a little speach, and then let people just touch him. They can bring him gifts, and ask him to do ridiculous things like cure people. what do you say Sam, I'll set it up.
P.s. Cool picture!! You should be an artist when you grow up!!
Posted by coop at March 16, 2007 10:50 AMI'm ashamed to admit how much time I just spent mousing over that interactive bit. great work.
Posted by Peter F at March 16, 2007 01:26 PMExcellent Idea, great work, congratulations!
Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. at March 16, 2007 02:32 PMGreat geometry/vanishing point! Even the line/path of water on the road. Made me think all over again about Hockney's comments on photographs and time.
Thanks for sharing.
Bloody brilliant! Love watching the wires for the tram go up as the car approaches. Gorgeous composition as usual! :-)
Posted by Michael at March 19, 2007 07:51 PMfantastic!
Posted by cecilia at March 23, 2007 10:23 AMThis is one the best creative ideas i've seen. How do you put this together?
