So I made a little application called flickTrick using phpFlickr.
tI is capable of producing either image mosaics on the basis of public photos of a given flickr account, or it it can generate a collage as the one you can see in the header part of this page, by simply adding follow CSS to it.

As creating a collage can take several seconds, I implemented a caching version. It firstly returns the last image stored for the given parameters and then creates a new image. This version can be accessed by using “fast-collage.php” instead of “collage.php”.
