inspiration from the masters
Wednesday, October 7, 2009 at 9:20PM We recently did a fun project for a couple who wanted shots that were inspired from some of their favorite photographs taken from another era. We've assembled the originals next to each shot we made for them to help you compare. I respect these other artists and the work they created. I know I could never completely duplicate the magic they created in their pieces, and that I would also bring my own twist to each of them. That's the beautiful thing about creativity and art, even when inspired by another's work, you can't help but put some part of you in the work as well.

Very nice replications! I love it!
SWEET IDEA! THAT LOOKED LIKE A TON OF FUN!
Thanks TJ and Michelle! We had a blast, and love our pics!!
DUDE.
Really
Really
Nice.
Ditto, those turned out super great!
Great concept.
Really wonderful stuff you guys! I'm constantly impressed with your work! :D
great pics, but I can't say I enjoy looking at former classmates with their pants half down :)
I was forced into a corner with that one Gwen! ;) (At least I didn't go all the way and show a butt cheek like the inspiration pic!!) :)
Referring to the super-awkward pants-down photo:
Wasn't the point of the original photo focused on the girl - sneakily checking out the guy behind her in the mirror of the car? I think somehow you missed that. I look at this photo and I want to yell out to this poor innocent girl, "WATCH OUT! There's a totally scary dude behind you pulling his pants down. He's gonna get you!"
Seriously, it looks like a crime is happening before my very eyes. Which as you can imagine is super awkward - not super-classy. Both photos have a story that they are telling, but yours belongs on the 5 o'clock news. . .
omg uv got to be kidding me!!! thse ppl are artists! y would u want to ruin it for us? u obviusly dont recognize art when u see it like the mona lisa. try going to school then youll learn. art isnt about what u think it is (which u obviusly think is stupid)it s about what ppl want to say and how they can say it. i think you owe these ppl an appology for making theyre beautiful art and laughing at it.cmon man. do u make fun of davinci or singers on american idol? thats art to i hope u know
I have no words
perhaps it is an epic fail, and perhaps not. Either way, you guys crack me up. :)
It's cool to have so much interest in my work, that it yields comments; either positive or negative. LOL.
LOL! I just saw the comments resulting from mine...whoops.
Maybe I should clarify that I'm friends with both the subject and the artist (and have a BFA myself, so I have gone to school to learn ;).....I just couldn't resist taking a jab at Bryan. Of course the photos are fantastic..no question about that :)
