I love everything about this - so creative!

[John Mather]

@koalagardens Thanks! I was fascinated by the original Escher drawing, and tried to recreate it as a photograph. It still needs a bit of refinement.

the only problem with these kinds of edits is making yourself stop - I love these kinds of rabbit holes

[Madeleine Pennock]

Well done John! Very effective and great fun!

[Catriona Baker]

Brillant idea well executed

[John Mather]

@marshwader @catangus Thanks - it was trickier than I imagined, but worked out in the end.

[Cherrill]

Very clever and quite captivating!

[Steve Joyce]

Very creative John. Bet this was fun to do.

[John Mather]

@sjoyce I got myself in knots, as a matter of fact - trying to line things up and operate the camera, and then getting everything right in photoshop.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Perfectly Escheresque!

@olivetreeann Thanks. I learned a bit from doing this. It doesn’t have quite the same “logic” as the original, but “hand photographing hand” wouldn’t work either.
