The Differents

Is it a painting or a real live person?

If you're anything like me the first time I saw this photo you're probably really confused right now.The picture above is a photograph. It's not a painting mixed into a photograph... it's an actual photograph of an older gentleman painted to look as though he's a painting. It screws with your mind though doesn't it.

The idea and work is created by a Washington D.C. "dfrnt" by the name of Alexa Meade. Interestingly the name of this work is "Timmy" (totally a coincidence).

Who says that paintings can only be done on canvases and flat surfaces?

I have to admit... I'm not a big fan of bugs. Then again, I never saw them like this before.
Talk about dfrnt! Some of these photos actually make bugs and lizards and other creepy crawlys look "cute".
Yeah, I said it... "cute".

The year was 1980. Barry Obama was 19 years old and a 20 year old photographer named Lisa Jack took a roll of film of him.
Which leads me to my question: what are you doing today that will lead to extraordinary things in your future?
The answer is simple. Everything.

1972... was all about being a dfrnt.

"The dfrnt summit" circa 1972. Check these guys out! These three were all about being different... and look where it got them (into the history books).

The Canadian men's gold medal victory over our (friendly) U.S. rivals is summed up perfectly in this photo of Canadian fans celebrating from the Boston Globe.

The Globe does such a great service in the name of photography. Now, should we order poster sized copies for every person in Canada?
