I'm taking a digital photo class so i've come across some fun stuff lately. I like the idea of physically setting up a surrealistic scene to photograph instead of putting it together afterwards in photoshop. Here's a couple examples of what i mean..


Dali Atomicus by Philippe Halsman in 1948. I guess he's one of the first photographers to take jumping pictures. The cats just crack me up in this picture..


came across this randomly, and I think its fantastic. William Hundley has a whole series of these on flickr. check it out.
