Albert Stone by James Pierce

Albert Stone by

The first, and perhaps best of the melbourne statue artists. He stands completely still until someone pays him money, then he slowly moves and gives people flower, or blows bubbles etc.

A note for the camera nerds, one of the last images I made on kodachrome before it got too expensive to shoot it here in AU. The best colours of any film.

    This, and the previous Albert Stone one, are just absolutely outrageous, I don’t have the adjectives. Can I buy you more Kodachrome?

    I wish it was as easy as just getting more film – Now days it’s really hard to even get it processed. I think there are about 3 or 4 labs in the world that do it, it’s a pretty nasty and environmentally awful process.

    This is the greatest photo! Took me a while to work out how you did it, then I realised he was alive…

    a fantastic portrait …semingly a B&W until you look at the bubbles
    slide IS such a wonderful format…. I dont think digital will ever be as good as 35mm slide
    I wonder if Albert Stone has seen The Chasers Spoof on statue art?? very clever, they set up a statue and people give it money thinking it is a statue artist!

    Absolutely fantastic! I couldn’t figure how the heck you did it either until I read your description.
