Recreating famous postcards


Stonehenge



I found this on Design Boom and love it:


markus georg is a berlin-based photographer who has created a series of images that recreate famous
postcard sites using an array of people and everyday objects.

the series features environmental
landmarks like the matterhorn in switzerland, urban sites like the skyline of frankfurt and historic
events like september 11, 2001.

the series of photographs stands on its own, but is made even more
intriguing when paired with its real life equivalent.

georg intended the images to be used on the front

of 4x6 inch post cards calling our perceptions of these iconic scenes into question.
