Here's a way to put vacation photos on display without holding friends captive. Link a group of slides taken at some far-flung locale together to create a lampshade that offers a colorful, indoor escape-from bad lamp design, if nothing else. On your next excursion, bring along a few rolls of slide film (bonus: it's less expensive than the print variety) and try taking thematic shots of bad motels, perhaps, or exotic plant life. Link.

And for those of us who are living in the 3rd millennium: You can use your color inkjet printer to print on transparency, then Tape or sew the transparencies to hoops scavenged from dime store lampshades. Colored electrician's tape makes a nice edged border.

A cute enhancement to the idea of using transparencies for lamp shades: For content, use a Quicktime VR panorama.

What about using a bunch of tiny fresnel lenses behind the picturesto actually project your images on the wall? Sort of like an overhead projector?
