Famous photos reimagined

I’ve made no secret of the joy I find in interesting juxtapositions. Along those lines, I love this series of recreations of famous photographs using Legos.

It’s great that the photographer, Balakov, provides links to all the original photos as well as an image that shows his set up for each shot.

More great Lego shots on Balakov’s Flickr page.
