MSN has posted a cool Silverlight application that lets you deep zoom into an image of Michael Jackson only to find that the original image actually consists of thousands of photos of the King of Pop taken throughout his life. Using your mouse’s scroll wheel, you can zoom in and out of the images and you can drag your mouse from left to right and top to bottom to move the images around and see new ones. Man, there are a lot of pictures! They have everything from Michael Jackson as a kid when he was a member of the Jackson 5 all the way up to recent photos featuring his…uhhh…more interesting look. In any event, it’s a nice way to remember the man who left a lasting impression on fans worldwide and who changed the face of music as we know it. You can check out the MJ application here.
