  • timwizard, on 10/11/2007, -1/+71What happens when the guy in the top picture starts lying?
  • DariusMonsef, on 10/11/2007, -1/+63So I realize some of these might be semi-NSFW

    And the photographer's site is: http://www.koendemuynck.com
  • PureForm, on 10/11/2007, -0/+51That slug one just looks ...... painful
  • Roundbadge, on 10/11/2007, -1/+51Photographers name is Koen Demuynck - his website is www.koendemuynck.com

    And yes - these are really excellent!
  • ROFLance, on 10/11/2007, -2/+48Splendid is the new AMAZING.
  • orbanj, on 10/11/2007, -3/+42dugg for "splendid"

    ...and no use of amazing!
  • J3Holaday, on 10/11/2007, -1/+32probably looking for goat porn...
  • SocialPoison, on 10/11/2007, -2/+20Would have been nice to see the NSFW in the summary... you know before I clicked the link
  • deberdtjonathan, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17all right, I'm Belgian and just have found a link on an American portal site to a Russian site containing pictures of a Belgian photographer.
  • Arbus, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15And what if he sneezes? Or snores?
    Further investigation into the cocknose phenomenon is needed.
  • Hindu_Wardrobe, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14"I'm sure this is awesome, but I can't get it up..."
    That's what he said
  • 80hd, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13You've still failed to negate the fact that Russian's are an odd bunch.
  • webcure, on 10/11/2007, -6/+16These are brilliant!
    Digg it!
  • badulescub, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Excellent pictures, the dog writting sorry on the wall was a killer .. LOL
  • DopeWeasel, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Why, because of the nose... boy you are stuffy (pun intended).
  • merreborn, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Google doesn't grab the images, so it's kinda pointless.
  • ours, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Oh god, [OTHER CULTURE THEN MINE] are so weird...

    I bet they think the same about yours and mine! It's all in the viewpoint. Besides, artists are by definition weird :-).
  • ccrook, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Think it's coincidence he gave the Nazi looking guys American weapons? Look, they're holding what looks like a Colt 1911, and a matte-black Thompson.
  • da_bradler, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7muhaha I have a bigger... nose then the first guy
  • brewer, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7(S)He's Belgian.
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -5/+10Awesome! Can't wait to see them!

    (I've been waiting for the page to fully load for the past 10 minutes. And I'm on a cable modem.)
  • funnylookinhat, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I'm sure this is awesome, but I can't get it up...

    Next time could you put the photos on a real server instead of some random box in russia before linking?
  • manbear, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4yes I am sure my boss would appreciate me looking at 3d rendered penises on a guys face too.
  • TheWorm, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4They're not exactly photos. They are clearly doctored in photoshop. Still, very artistic and creative. The artist has a good eye for lighting.
  • Fhwqhgads, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Only took me half a second for yours.
  • tfulton89, on 10/11/2007, -11/+15Oh god, Russians are so weird...
  • neszis, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4They're the photographic version of Norman Rockwell paintings. Besides the general "good lighting and composition," does anyone know how he accomplished this effect? Special processing, special lighting?
  • tmalloy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4http://dotcache.com/http://2photo.ru/2007/06/05/kreativnyjj_zhestkach_fotograf_koen_demuynck.html

    got some pictures
  • vigge, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Wow, some high-res versions would be nice to have, some of them would make brilliant wallpapers.
  • DanMcScience, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4I have started to expect that when the title says 'Russian' the link is 'Dead'
  • Alex.w, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I duno about where you are, but that's fairly safe for me. A 3d rendered penis photoshoped to a guys face? C'mon..
  • DopeWeasel, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Did you even click on the link? None of those pictures in that gallery even are even remotely similar to the posting.
  • PAJK, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2http://duggmirror.com//design/34_VERY_Weird_but_Splendid_Photos/plain.html
  • vdog, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Is it just me, or do they all look like ads for something?
  • schmik07, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2stfu. They're still good to look at so get down off your high horse and show some appreciation for a good find.
  • Jeffler, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3The swimming pool one says in the corner 1 litre =/= 1 cubic meter. Thats because obviously it isn't, so the person overfilled. Its an advertisement for an education publisher.
  • smurf22, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4It reminds me of Half Life 2 for some reason.
  • Crazymaniacc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2These are all Belgian, Koen Demuynck is a Belgian photographist, and these are all ads whe've seen around here.
    The one with the guy lying down taking a piss, underneath says: Stand-up peeing is better.

    The one with the birds is from a radio station: Radio 2

    At the bottom you see: http://koendemuynck.com/
  • richardiscool, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5I like the way he's being dugg down because no Americans have heard of either Belgium or the Flemish language.
  • sancho320, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Freaky *****!
  • AndrewMB, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2wow, those were strange!
  • rajulkabir, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Not sure there are any Russians involved in this (other than hosting the images). In every photo with legible text, it was in Dutch (or, I suppose, Flemish).
  • Hindu_Wardrobe, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5Photoshop
  • busta, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4It looks like there's a 3D modelling and rendering touch to alot of his photos.
  • dennyzartman, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Yes, they are most likely ads for high end magazines. Professional ad companies and photographers have their own publications too where they print stuff like this, sometimes yearly. These "magazines/in house publications" have some pretty impressive stuff. I bet it's a mixture of ads and general studio work.

    This collection was excellent. There's a lot of photoshop, but it's still very impressive photo art. I like the way a lot of them tell little stories. I still can't quite figure out the swimming pool building or the dump truck in a beam of light. It's tough to judge the best ones, but I have to go for the sock in the jaw as number one, The road to Big Ben is very cool too.

    And there seems to be a few things happening in the background of the lady walking her pet hog. Looks to me like there are at least 2 people with parachutes, a guy running along the ledge holding something, and a cat about to be swept up in the streetsweeper.

    Interesting. Good find!
  • poseitom, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2It's Dutch!
  • Phr3aker, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1wow amazing the quality reminds me if 300
  • Stockwell, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Flemish is a dialect spoken in the northern part of Belgium, however the dialect varies from region to region (read every 25-30 km the dialect has slight changes and differences).
    And Flemish is actually not an official language in Belgium, however Dutch, French and German are - how's that for a country with a mere 10.5 million inhabitants.

    The Russian connection is only the hosting part. Don't worry folks Belgium is not becoming or has not become a satellite state for Putin-land.
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1i like the anne frank one
