Do you figure the photographer was a rare rider of a 69er?

He's a photoshopist, not a photographer...

I'd say he know F-all about bikes as there's a sprocket on the front wheel..

I'm assuming the whole point is that he isn't a photoshopist - why photoshop the fingers in?

What do we reckon - the Big Ben one is real and he thought, hmmm I could do that with other landmarks, so started photoshopping?

To make it look like he'd done them like the Big Ben one. How would he take the St.Pauls one?

I was amused, regardless of how the images were produced.

'Fraid not, his book has photos of him at the locations, showing you how he does it

Well there we are then. Glad to hear it. Somehow I still find his hands a bit irritating 🙂

You mean how would he take the photo when both hands were holding something? Because it's impossible to take a photo without using a hand?

It doesn’t really matter how he does it. The results are entertaining and mildly amusing. They have their place but they aren’t really ‘fine art’ (then again most photography isn’t fine art either).

Well, at the time i posted that I thought they were ‘shopped and that was a small part of my “evidence”. Now I know they’re not shopped, er well, I’m past caring really 😉

I like the captions too- "this is what is happening in this picture"

I put pants on Michael Angelo's David like that years ago when my Grandma had a calendar. Made out of a yellow post it note. I like those, very imaginative.
