well this looks familiar!! hello!

philippe said 520 days ago:

Hi, Ana!
You mean you've seen a similar shot before?
Ok, go ahead, crucify me on the cross of creativity!
:o)))

The shot posted on vazaar is my favorite, but I have nothing else to post at the moment...

kadenajack said 520 days ago:

I saw a picture of a guy who looked just like you, except he was all black and white behind a color photo. Just kidding. Nicely done.

philippe said 520 days ago:

I should have done that!
:o)

eggplant said 520 days ago:

That's a very creative idea. It must have been haard to match up the print with your face and take the photo (on a timer I imagine) at the same time.

philippe said 520 days ago:

@eggplant: actually, my wife pressed the button :o)

eggplant said 520 days ago:

...still, a challenge nonetheless, and well done.

mtmartini said 520 days ago:

Wow, that is a great idea, I like it.

mtmartini said 520 days ago:

Ah philippe, so nice to put the face to some of my favourite works.

pursang said 520 days ago:

Wonderful wonderful execution and imagination.

philippe said 520 days ago:

Thank you Tracy and Pursang!

klimin_a_s said 520 days ago:

How many shots you made before your face on the paper concured with real face?

philippe said 520 days ago:

Good question: maybe six, seven shots? But several more to find the good size on the paper.

AbsolutelyN said 520 days ago:

Very interesting idea with a lots of potential. However I think this could have been pulled off better - it definately need much more subtle lighting.

philippe said 520 days ago:

@absolutelyN: I agree. It was made with pocket camera.

excellent .. :) Creative.

Montage said 519 days ago:

This is really cool. I like it a lot. How many attempts did it take to get it lined up correctly?

Montage said 519 days ago:

"actually, my wife pressed the button"

Oh no! Somebody else pressed the button? Then it's not a self portrait! I'm telling! ;)

And just in case the wink didn't help - I'm joking :)

King said 519 days ago:

This is great. A powerful portrait that reminds me of the thousands of times I've pulled a test strip out of the hypo. Dude...the image is on the other side. Well done. High marks. Hope you get a feature.

King said 519 days ago:

It's good to see your face, Philippe--and I didn't know this was you. Seriously, is this one close to being featured? I gave you almost straight 5's.

VernonTrent said 519 days ago:

yay :-)

cookies for philippe

King said 519 days ago:

Okay, then. Happy dance for philippe.

Ana said 519 days ago:

cookies and dancing from Ana! yay!

dseguin said 519 days ago:

Right on! Creative.

philippe said 519 days ago:

Thank you all for the comments and the feature. I thought it was a fun idea and it was fun to do.

Ana: I like shortbread cookies...

:o)

philippe said 519 days ago:

Just for the curious: I was at 3.7 yesterday night (not featured) and 3.85 this morning, so the latest ratings were decisive...
Thanks again.

bioLarzen said 519 days ago:
