Alright.
This task has quite some significance to me, as I started this project as a hobby, and when my friend saw this creative idea, he recommended me SF0.
The inspiration came to me with a mixture of alcohol and MSN. One day, I saw Tom's MSN display picture, which portrayed a self-photo of a surprised face. Another friend, Richard, also saw Tom's MSN display picture, and decided to imitate him and took a self-photo of a surprised face as well. Then, coming back from a party, having had a little too much alcohol, I remembered Tom's picture and also took a self-photo of a surprised face. Then it hit me, why don't I collect all the surprised faces I could, from all the people I know, and with it, create a picture of mass destruction?
I set myself a goal - 200 pictures. That would be necessary to create the giant pixellated picture which I had envisioned. However, due to a very enthusiastic response, I had obtained more than 250 pictures, and thus, was able to create the picture attached. After about 100 photos, I set up a facebook group, to collect even more photos from kind people around the world. All photos were obtained over a two month period, and over international borders, as I travelled in this period, and contacted my overseas friends to donate their pictures to me.
Thanks to all the kind people who supported me through this fun endeavour!

P.S. Please pardon my single upload of the big picture. I figured, it would take too much time to upload every single photo individually.
