found him!

liar. I saw that. its a dude standing. not waldo! he's somewhere else... keep loking

I actually used to go to uni where 'Waldo' is standing. Product design. Switched to Graphic design, though.

This makes me a little suspicious. This is an image directly from the web site, with no editing by me. What happened to the top half of this person?

They took a LOT of small pictures and stitched them together.

How else could they make a 2.5 Gigapixel image? And did you even bother to read any of the data, or did you just click the picture?

Yep... time lapse. Look at the clock.

Aha, so this guy was just beaming in when they took his photo. I got it!
