This concave sculpture of President George Washington at the Donald W. Reynolds Museum and Education Center at Mt. Vernon creates the illusion that Mr. Washington's gaze is following you across the lobby of the center. My daughter and I stood at opposite sides of this sculpture and photographed him at the same time. In both images, he is looking right at us. Studio EIS knows how to make the magic.

Beautiful lighting and capture.
ReplyDeletevery cool...isn't that how they do those busts at the Haunted Mansion at Disney World?
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Would like to see it in person Happy WW
ReplyDeleteI like how you thought out the photographing of these shots.
ReplyDeleteHere is my Wordless Wednesday: I am Fancy Nancy!
How eerie. The Lincoln Center in Lincoln, IL has some amazing art similar to this but it is Abe Lincoln of course.
ReplyDeleteGeorge W, (not Dubya) doesn't miss a beat after all these years.
ReplyDeleteSo "being two faced" isn't a modern phenomenon!
ReplyDeleteThat is cool! Visit The Zoo for my WW. http://talbertzoo.blogspot.com/2011/02/wordless-wednesday-close-up-1.html
ReplyDeletefascinating. I have a photo of my deceased dad taken for his pilot license and it does the same...
ReplyDeleteI don't know, he looks a little bit drunk to me. Maybe breaking the fabric of space-time has that effect. :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting sculpture. Brings together the historic and the contemporary.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is fun. And a little creepy:)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Thanks for the clever pictures/
ReplyDeleteHow unnerving. Would love to see this in person, Sandy.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of head turning in a haunting way.
ReplyDeleteNeat,wow,cool,amazing.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool. You wonder how they do that?
ReplyDeleteToday I was wondering if they don't do these holograms in the sky and make people think they are UFO's.
Very cool.. and a great way to illustrate this.
ReplyDeleteSort of ethereal. Very striking.
