So, here is a view of the most expensive image ever (that doesn't really exist - except for now because I made it):
This is an amalgam of 16 (out of 18) of the most expensive photographs ever sold, all at once (based on the list at Wikipedia).
I averaged all of the images in Imagemagick, and brought them into GIMP for some level adjustments and minor processing.

Bouncing Baby Beverly Tutorial (Making Babies Fly)
Way back in November, 2011 I had written a tutorial for PetaPixel that walked through how I created the image of my daughter bouncing out of her crib:
I realized that the tutorial only existed over on PetaPixel, and that I should probably just put a copy of it here for anyone interested. So here it is.

More Averaging Photos (Martin Schoeller)
I can't get enough of playing with this image averaging, it seems.
Reddit user Janne mentioned in a post of mine about the idea of "Averageness", and linked to the Wikipedia page describing it. This got me thinking about trying these commands on something like faces.
So I needed a set of faces that were all semi-similar enough to create good averages with. Well, if you haven't seen the work of photographer Martin Schoeller you are missing out! He has a series of close-ups that are shot with very similar lighting styles and compositions of famous people (and not-famous), that is simply mesmerizing to see.
So I grabbed some random images to try this out with:
My random assortment of Schoeller close-ups.
In GIMP to prepare the images all I did was aligned the images based on the subjects eyes (tried to get them on the same level, and the same distance from the centers).
At that point the fun begins! All I had to do was pick and choose whose faces I thought would be fun to see averaged together. To begin with, here is the image matrix from above, but with averages calculated for each row and column appended to it:
