Henri Cartier-Bresson meets LEGO
Have a look at this gallery at Flickr and see some of the famous photographs recreated in LEGO.
Unfortunately LEGO has never positioned them self as a Danish company, so many people out in the world doesn't know it us, the Danes, who are behind this great plastic toy.
A Star Wars take on Marc Riboud's famous 1967 photograph taken at an anti-Vietnam protest in Washington
All made by Mike Stimpson aka Balskov who's the fellow right above. Great work.

That was a new one for me. I bet Mona Lisa would look cool in Lego as well. The Lego characters has that kind of Mona Lisa smile.

It has been, i confess, long overdue. But i have been procrastinating this simple task of leaving you a comment for weeks. I've been busy and only comment when commented.
I do admire your work and your blogs are quite the read.
congratulations on a wonderful page.
And. xoxoxox :)

Hi Thorsten

I just wanted to say hello and compliment you on your gallery. You've got a really great selection of pictures here, I really like your natural style and your use of light.
Lots and lots of interesting stuff to read too!
I reckon I'm going to be a regular reader.
Take it slow...

Heeeeey... You're another one on here who I see has fanagled a way around (what I thought was the max) of 16 "Top Friends." How'd you manage that one, if you don't mind me asking? Whatever the case, very best of regards to you...CCx

Hello.
Thank you for your kind words. I'm really glad to receive a comment from you.

Not all thinks the same, because I've received a lot of critics on flickr.

Regards, Ulissa.

Hi Thorsten,
Thanks for the great idea for a blog posting on how a designer comes to dress a star at the Oscars. I will have to write it! Continue to check my blog, I'm going to continue to add great stuff in the next few weeks.

Hi my friend !! The whole truth about the small rocket is on my blog ;)

I found it annoying, the D-Lux 3, that you can't get a good grip at it. That you use the screen as viewfinder is kind of OK. But the light from the screen, as well as the red AF light at night does not make it a stealth camera like a traditional quiet Leica M.
