Classic photos redone with Lego. While the idea is not new, this shoots for really iconic photos. Some are actually a little confronting. The comments alternate between “Cool, Lego!” and “These images are cold-hearted and patronizing”. I actually kinda agree with both. Have a look and make up your own mind. Maybe this is a bit of a personality test… your opinion of the Lego version of the 1963 shot of the monk on fire probably says a lot about who you are.

yeah, the others were ok, but the monk on fire one I didn’t think much of…. but is that more about the unbelievableness of the monks’ act?
Anyway, an interesting concept, and I can see why the 50/50 response on the photos.
