I recently came across an photographer and artist by the name of Mike Stimpson from the Midlands in the UK and he's come up with a novel way of paying tribute to the iconic toy, by using it to recreate some of the most iconic photographs.
 |
The 1932 photograph "Lunch atop a skyscraper" By Charles Ebbets. |
 |
"The unknown rebel" Taken in Tiananmen Square, Beijing by Jeff Widener in 1989. |
 |
Iconic sight of one of the "Bed in's" staged by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in Amsterdam and Montreal 1969. |
 |
Alfred Eisenstaedt's 1945 Photograph of the Victory in Japan celebrations in Times Square, New York. |
 |
Diego Maradonna's infamous "Hand of God" goal for Angentina against England in the 1986 World Cup quarter final. |
 |
Joe Rosenthal's 1945 Photograph "Raising the flag on Iwo Jima." One of the most published photographs in history. |
 |
Steve McCurry's 1985 National Geographic cover photograph of Sharbat Gula previously known simply as "Afghan Girl" before her formal identification in 2002. |
 |
Martain Elliott's 1976 photograph "Tennis girl." |
 |
Yousuf Karsh's 1941 Portrait of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. |
 |
The wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer on July 29th 1981. |
 |
Perhaps the most iconic image of all time. The moon landing in 1969. The more geeky among you will notice The classic 1978 Lego spaceman. A nice touch. So there you have it, I hope you'll agree with me when I say that these photos are a wonderful concept executed brilliantly. Thanks for viewing. |
