heh... nekid ppl are cool..... ;p


But seriously, from an artistic point of view, he's doing some really cool things with perspective in that shot. Notice how the mass of people seem to be pouring out of the crack between the 2 buildings, being densely packed at the top left frame, and then fairly spread out at the bottom?

also, notice how there are 2 or 3 distinct horizontal lines in the picture? (One at the mid left, one in the lower 3/4, and one down near the bottom) That is a technique called "linear perspective". you see it in a lot of renaissance paintings... It was basically how they were able to convey distance and size in their paintings..

Its cool that he is doing this with a photo, something that has a perspective already built in.
