"Photo" of Vincent VanGogh

If you have been wandering the internet over the past few days, you have probably come across this story.  For those of you who missed it. .

Architect/photographer Tadao Cern wondered what Vincent VanGogh may have looked like in "real life" rather than rendered as a painting with thick swirls of paint.  Van Gogh created many self portraits during his career.  Cern selected one and then digitally converted it back into a "photo."  The result is somewhat haunting.  The Atlantic has a brief video showing some of Cern's photoshoppery.  You can watch it here.

 The original:  Self Portrait by Vincent Van Gogh, 1889

The "photograph" Vincent Van Gogh by Tadao Cern, 2012

Lots to see on the NY trip!

Things have been busy in Photo Land and we have neglected our blogging!  Sorry for the silence over the last month.  Not to worry, this week we will be highlighting some of the exciting exhibitions you can see this Friday on the Bucks Art Department trip to NYC.  There are a few tickets still available - head down to the Art Office in Hicks to buy yours today.


Think "fake" photos are a product of the digital age and Photoshop?  Think again!  The Metropolitan Museum of Art has just opened an exhibition entitled "Faking It:  Manipulated Photography Before Photoshop."  Interestingly, Adobe helped to fund the exhibition.  This promises to be a great show.  For those of you with iPads, there is a free App available from iTunes which accompanies the exhibition.

For more information on the exhibition:
