ART IMITATING LIFE

In this perfectly timed (and framed) photograph by Daniel Krone, we see a painting of the popular New Orleans street performer Uncle Louie in a store front while the actual Uncle Louie is spotted in the distance crossing the street!

Uncle Louie and his tiny stuffed dog, affectionately known as Lil Willie, are a common sight in New Orleans’ French Quarter. Louie is best known for his ability to stand very still while in mid stride. You can find a video of him in ‘action’ embedded below.

Much like the famed naked cowboy in New York’s Time Square, tourists love snapping pics of Uncle Louie and Lil Willie. In an interview with French Quarterly, Uncle Louie says he’s been doing the ‘frozen in time’ shtick for almost twenty years.

Many thanks to Mr. Krane for sending the photo in!

Picture of the Day: Perfectly Timed Dogbird

PERFECTLY TIMED DOGBIRD

Photograph by Megan Whiteley

 

In this perfectly timed photograph of a dog and bird by Megan Whiteley, we see what looks to be a flying dog at the beach. Posted yesterday to reddit by LostInTheJapan, the image quickly reached the front page and has already been viewed over 650,000 times on Imgur. The mere prospect of flying dogs would be both adorably entertaining and wildly terrifying.

As so often happens with these hilarious photos, a fellow redditor, Your_Post_As_A_Movie, took the photo one step further, turning Dogbird into a movie poster (seen below).
