Magazine and advertising photographers Jojakim Cortis and Adrian Sonderegger have a curious side project: They build meticulous scale models recreating iconic photographs, Wired reports. The pair painstakingly recreate each scene in miniature using paper, cotton balls, plastic — and plenty of time. Some take a few days, others a few weeks.Cortis and Sonderegger call the series Iconen because the images are instantly recognizable to photographers and casual viewers alike. Most of them possess a solemn reverence, though some have an undeniable sense of whimsy or awe, like the Loch Ness monster or Buzz Aldrin’s footstep in moon dust. Their final images always pull back from the scene to provide a glimpse of the studio and the materials used: a roll of tape here, a glue gun there. They want viewers to know they’re having fun. Making of AS11-40-5878, 2014. Original photo by Edwin Aldrin, 1969. |

A rather dangerous hobby - this model is good feeding stuff for the moon hoax theory supporters |

Seems innocent enough at first glance but I think there's some big egos at work here. "Buzz Aldrin's footprints on the moon? - Yeah, we did that too."Maybe I'm just a grumpy curmudgeon who prefers rockets to glue guns. |

I don't know about dangerous, those who believe the moon landings are a hoax, don't need anything to validate their beliefs. They are going to believe what they want no matter what. | |
