The American Image: The Photographs of John Collier Jr.
The American Image is an online exhibit exploring John Collier Jr's work during the war years of the 1940s. The photographs depict day-to-day life in America during World War II. Flickr mashups are used to pull in photographs that make up the Collection and one of the interactive activities. In addition to exploring Collier's photographs, visitors can create their own short videos using graphics, photographs and clips from that era.

Portions of the site were developed to be extensible as the Collier

I really dig the comparison you do with the tagged images. However, it took me a bit to understand that I was looking at two images related by a tag. I would like to see something like, "Two photos tagged, ******" at the very top of the page above the old and new photograph labels. I think this would allow me to see the connections more readily.
