Tuesday Flickr Set: Legos by Balakov.
Man-about-town Mr. Mark Conahan suggested this set from UK photographer Mike Stimpson (known as Balakov on Flickr). Seems that Mr. Stimpson has spent the better part of his leisure recreating and photographing historical scenes and cultural milestones. Using Legos. Many of his foremost sets reimagine the famous photographic works of (now) famous photographers. And nearly all samples link to the original reference as well as Stimpson's own creative process. An interesting—and at times, disturbing—diary of life and living, conflict, tragedy and personal triumph as remembered in smiling plastic.

On a related note, a new friend of Pinch, John Fulton, from Seattle's Pyramid Communications, was reminded of this project from European art collective, Henry VIII's Wives. Hint: Click the right arrow button above the menu.
