Using bacterial plates, bioengineer Chris Voigt and his team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have created the world’s first photograph composed completely of single-cell organisms. Using a similar strategy, Jeff Tabor at Rice University is currently working to develop full-color bacterial images. For complete instructions see How To Grow Your Own Photo.
Note: This sounds like a great science fair project but I’m not certain it is practical, since the resulting photographs must be refrigerated.

About Mark Mizen
I have over twenty years professional experience in all aspects of photography and digital imaging. I am Chair of the ISO WG5 TG2 committee responsible for physical properties and durability of imaging material and am currently with HID Global working on systems for security printing for IDs, licenses, and credit cards. Previously, I was Director of Digital Development at Creative Memories from 2009 to 2012 and was responsible for the Creative Memories digital products and services. I also established and directed the Creative Memories Technology Center, which evaluated new products prior to product introduction, assisted with production difficulties, and provided technical information to support product sales.
I am looking forward to the situation comedy, I am certain you are working on. (snicker)
