Is the photo real? Street smart Kulturhuset Stockholm

If any of you guys pass by "Stockholms kulturhus" anytime soon, be sure not to miss the "Street smart" Exhibition. The all time controversial subject of street art and graffiti is presented as and discussed. In the late 70's when the graffiti scene was new and as a small art form at the time only in New york city, USA, closely connected with the 4 elements of hip hop. Today street art as a whole is spread all over the world, the scene is bigger then ever, but if it's an artform and should be accepted in our public space is a hotter discussion then ever. 
3 of the exhibition pieces are made with my help, it's 3 classic photos from the early days in the NYC graffiti scene. These photos are photoshop'ed to trick the viewer, as two well knows Swedish graffiti artists appears within the classic photos. And the Swedish graffiti artists artwork appears instead of the original artwork. 
How it was done, was the the artists built a 1x1 scale Stockholm subway car. then I took photos fitting the angle of the original subway art photos from NYC. Then a whole lot of Photoshop work was put into work. The question is, what is photos, what is the picture telling you.

Happy new New Year!

The Thai New Year (Thai: สงกรานต์ Songkran) is celebrated every year on 13 April to 15 April. It is also celebrated in Laos (called pi mai lao or 'Lao New Year' in Lao), Cambodia, Myanmar (where it is called Thingyan), and by the Dai people in Yunnan, China. Sri Lanka also celebrates a similar festival called Sinhalese and Tamil New Year on the same dates. The same date is celebrated widely throughout the Indian subcontinent, albeit based on the astrological event of the sun beginning its northward journey. These pictures are taken in Khon Kean (Isaan) north east Thailand, Songkran 2006. click to enlarge.

Save your photos.

Your photos may not always be burned out in the highlighted part of the frame even if you think so when you take a fast look at it. Of course this is a job for photoshop. In this example of one of my friends picture I been using different techniques as in Photoshop CS3 (works in CS and CS2): Shadow highlights in adjustments menu, gradient tool to fill a new layer and blend it with a bit of Overlay in the layer blending options. Then converting it into a black and white photo and using reduce noise filter to smoothen the the whole frame of the photo. Levels/adjustment to get the right contrast and last toning it with a adjustment layer/photo filter to get the blue toning.

and woalaa!

first u see the original then the new version. Click on the photo to have a closer look.
