Portfolio is the best business magazine out there, IMO. This month's issue is fantastic and I recommend it to anyone looking for some financial advice (there is a GREAT interview with Charles Schwab).

That's awesome.

Pretty cool. But;

"This was made from 400 bottles piled in my driveway", Jordan says. "I photographed them over and over stirring the pile with a rake inbetween shots. The Photoshop work took more than three weeks of 10-hour days. It was the most labor intensive image I have made"

... Has this guy never heard of the clone stamp tool?

This won't end well.

But will it deliver? That's what truly matters.

Regardless of what this guy thinks,
Nobody has ever died from smoking.
Its cancer/emphysema, which is a secondary effect of smoking thousands of cigarettes. Not the act of smoking itself.

I find this type of thing a waste of time...

I'm tired of people telling me whats bad and good for me.
I'm sick of political messages.
I'm sick of thinly veiled political messages spouted by celebretards...

I mean really...

My one example... then off the soapbox.

I went to see DJ shadow a few years back. The set was going great then he went on this big rant about the war in Iraq, and george bush. I hear enough of that crap on the news. I dont want it shoved in my face at a concert.. As a result, I will NEVER give him another dime.
Not because I agree or disagree with the content of the message, but because there was a message.

I used to be a big fan... PAID 100$ for Brainfreeze on LP... Been to 6 or 7 shows.. NEVER AGAIN!

Ok, off the soap box...

The clone stamp can't solve every problem. With millions of bottles to illustrate, if you duplicate the same 400-odd pile of bottles in the same angle, same lighting, etc. you will get a a pattern that's suited for cheap wallpaper, not a Portfolio work.

The fact that you can consider each bottle in the picture as an individual one is part of the "wow" factor.

+1 to what LA said. the clone stamp is good for reproducing color backgrounds and giving a wallpaper look.
