So I haven't been able to put this one down lately...
Imagine that you had a website where you had famous photographs or portraits (of famous people) and then turned the shot around - so you could see what the person being photographed saw...

...kinda like this one, but you have to pretend the famous shot is of MJ from the front... like, this is what he saw...

...except you would see the photographer, or whoever was in the room at that instant in time...
...and the back of the President. Or whomever.
I don't know, I just think it would make for an interesting coffee table book.
I wish I could keep my desk that tidy!

I get it and love the idea.

Ditto. It is a great idea.
it's been a fun one to play with... except when pressed for some quick photos I came up with none of what I imagined. I kept on thinking of black and white Kennedy images in the white house, or 'Blue Room', but I never found any that were good.
It's a brilliant idea - and think of the comedy implications as well
It's not quite right, as this isn't a famous painting, picture, scene etc
but the principles are right I think

Shocking! there's almost voyeurism going on in that photo!!!
Yeah, Jason, that's getting dangerously close to what I was thinking. Now just pair that up with the picture everyone knows.
And I agree, 4eyes, you could add all sorts of things behind the podium or under the table:)
I think it is unique. I think it is interesting. I think it could have some great potential for a lot of attention. I love it.
