Kudos to the guy (or gal) behind the camera! Obviously not shot by some Yahoo with a cellphone.

Absolutely the dumbest stuff I have ever wasted time on. That was five minutes I will never get back.

Took you five minutes to figure out you weren't interested?
Must have been searching for the nudes...
I agree with the "that's awesome" crowd.

Different strokes for different folks. I spent 10 minutes on the linked Web site and thought the photos (many more than just the garage series) brilliant. Thanks, Bill, for the post.
As for side by side comparisons - pretty sure a lot of the garage-hero photos don't have a Renaissance painting twin. Rather, they're done with the similar lighting, tone, perspective, general composition, feel, even hairstyle etc. For example, not enough mechanics in the Last Supper look alike, but it sure captures the mood.

I think that last one is after a Rembrandt that has "The anatomy lesson" in the title.
Yes, here: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp - Wikipedia
I agree, this is brilliant, for a lot of reasons.

Five whole minutes?
You weren't meant to stop and wank over them... just look and move-on.

Must be in the mind's eye? I . . . . see . . . . .gay . . . . people?
Back when the original paintings were done, getting in one of these paintings was the ultimate selfie for rich dudes. Sometimes they slipped their wives or mistresses into the picture.
Care to speculate on the family life of Rosie the Riveter while you're at it?
