Mosaic Legends Application Due For Iphone

I had to iPhone someone, so I picked on you…

We told you about Mosaic Legends back in November last year (11.02.2008 NEWS: MOSAICLEGENDS/MICK ROCK ZIGGY STARDUST MOSAIC) when we published details of a five foot high photomosaic print of 3,300 separate Mick Rock images of David Bowie, signed by David Bowie, Mick Rock and the mosaic’s creator, Craig Adam. As beautiful as this creation is it was financially out of reach for most Bowie fans I know.

But now Apple has come to the rescue with a new iPhone application that lets you zoom into each individual image of the mosaic with accompanying captions and introduction by Mick Rock and a piece by journalist Steven Stolder. You can even send each of the pictures to a friend directly from your iPhone.

Here’s a tiny excerpt from the conclusion of Mick’s intro: “People have often asked me, “You?ve photographed so many people, who are your all-time favorite subjects?” I normally have a glib answer and say, “Whoever I photographed yesterday.” But, in truth, David ranks right up there. Especially, of course, the magical Ziggy Stardust era, from which all of the photographs in this mosaic eBook are taken. It was an exhilarating and fascinating time.”

The app is due anytime now, but isn’t on iTunes just yet. We’ll let you know when we have a definite release date.
