Hearing Nothing Wrong With You -- Finn Brothers

More Than Meets the Eye


This is a really neat series of photos: Take a pile of junk, arrange it just so, and then shine a light on it. The shadows are not what you would expect them to be. Seriously, this is very cool to look at (note, however, that at least one of the shadows is a little rude).

    That is really amazing.  It made me wonder about so many things...it is a very interesting form of artistic expression.  Thanks for pointing the way.

    I want that... particularly so that, when people come onto my property at night, I can make a 150 pound Rottweiler shadow.

    It'd also be fun to make a Carmello Anthony shadow, then hide behind a wall and speak for it... "Yo, wuddup, n bomb?"

    IF this is for real, and not "photoshopped"...it's rather amazing.

    I would never have thought to do this... they were amazing... I imagine it took many many hours to set the junk up in front of that spotlight to get the image. Clever. Kind of reminds me of how shadows of known objects in a bedroom can freak a kid out in the middle of the night because they resemble the boogie man or some other scary persona. Thanks for pointing this one out. bea
