It's an incredibly cool Escheresque/Fractal kind of technique and I'd
love to know how to do it. The only pointers I can find on how to do it
involve Linux and Gimp, two things I'd just assume avoid (nothing
personal, I just don't know the software).
There must be some kind of plugin somewhere that can facilitate these
kinds of manipulations. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I don't know how he did it but here's how I think it could be done in
Photoshop. The original photo was this:
http://www.tnphoto.com/fractal.gif
The boy is sitting on the couch with a blank frame propped against his
shoulder. The frame with the hand holding it is a separate photo (the
hand looks out of scale, doesn't it?). Both the frame in the boy's
photo and the frame closeup were distorted using Filter>Liquify.
The photographer removed the boy's hand and inserted the frame,
omitting the frame's bottom right corner. The photo at that point
looked like this:
http://www.tnphoto.com/fractal2.gif
To blend the two, the photographer added yellow frame and red cushion
where I've painted yellow and red in my sketch.
All that was left to do was copy the image, reduce it and paste it into
the frame over and over.
What do you think?
