Davey Shafik has an interesting use for the recently released Zend Framework - an app that grabs 50 random images from Flickr and combines them.

As you most likely know, I have been working with Zend on the Zend Framework for a couple of months now. The bulk on my tasks there have been working on the Zend_Service* set of classes. This includes the Amazon, Flickr and Yahoo! APIs.

So, as I'm getting more and more into flickr (see http://flickr.com/dshafik for my photo stream) I have been exploring and I saw a very neat set of images which were composites of 50 random flickr images for a given tag.

Well, I liked this enough, I decided that I could do it on-the-fly using PHP, ImageMagick? and of course... the Zend Framework.

You can check out the actual application here, and for those that love getting the background story, the source is here.
