interesting, and well done, but i'm not sure if i buy into projects like that, mainly from a how-do-you-finance-something-like-that standpoint. he had "teams" searching for younger doppelgangers...how much time, effect, and expense goes into that? maybe you recoup your expenses if it gets published in a decent magazine? (hp doesn't pay for anything, except maybe cheap micro-stock stuff.)
Skip, this probably falls into the Fine Art category, where he has a gallery representing him and manage his sales/exhibits, etc. But yes, making money at what you REALLY want to shoot, and shooting what REALLY earns you money, are rarely the same thing. I just thought it was really well done.
This one doesn't do much for me. I think the photography is beautifully done and the scenes are extremely well set up, but I don't feel any connection between the mirror image and the older image. I don't get the feeling of a younger self, it just seems to be two different people -- the connection seems to be completely missing, imo. Love the idea, love the scenes, just seems like the choice of mirror people isn't right.
I like the idea (and I've toyed with the idea of combining an old photo of myself with me looking into a mirror) but for me, what doesn't work with these images is the placement. The reflections are mostly not where they should be in relation to the person regarding them.
