The Photographs Behind Norman Rockwells Iconic Paintings Here is a selection of the photographs behind Norman Rockwells iconic paintings… Norman Rockwell Museum Voici une sélection de photographies derrière les peintures emblématiques de Norman Rockwells… Dancers among us! “The inspiration for this book came to me one afternoon as I watched my son, Hudson, playing with his toy bus. I was trying to keep pace with his three-year-old mind as he got deeper and deeper into a fantasy involving nothing more than a yellow plastic box and armless figurines. At least that’s what I saw. He saw frantic commuters rushing to catch the 77 local bus to Australia. “What happens to this enthusiasm, this ability to be wholly present in the moment? “Shortly after playing “bus”, I attended an extraordinary dance performance, and I knew I had found my collaborators. “I’ve created these images for Hudson and his little sister, Salish.

Zev’s ‘Little Folk’ series earns big buzz Zev Hoover, known on Flickr as fiddleoak, has become an internet sensation with his “little folk” photo series. These miniature worlds — in which he digitally shrinks people into tiny dreamlike scenarios — involve kids sitting on acorns, rafts made of popsicle sticks and paper airplanes as viable modes of transport. His images have generated buzz not only because of his sheer talent, but the fact that Zev is only 14 years old. “I like to take the viewer along on a magical journey of rediscovering the world,” Zev says in the accompanying video. Zev started taking pictures as an 8-year-old with an old cell phone camera, before moving up the ranks and getting professional cameras — which ultimately ignited his passion for photography. “I really like cameras,” Zev says. Zev doesn’t remember where the original idea for “little folk” came from. Zev is inspired by everything in his life — ranging from various Flickr photographers to his current hobbies/interests.
