The big deal with this picture is that it isn't printed but painted. His sister did it by using my photo as a guideline and I have to say for me it looks pretty much like a copy.
... painted by Eva Gfrerer in December 2009
The original was taken by me in Summer 2008 at SnowparkNZ. It got under top 20 at a german photo contest (Peter Christian Schlueschen Stiftung) and was exhibited at Berliner Liste 2008.
Here you kind find some photos of the pricegiving, unfortunately I wasn't there, but my photo was ;)

Further it won a small community foto-contest and is now on the "cover".
Finally here is the original image, taken in August 2008, riding by Jonas Marcinko, it was a cab 5 by the way, supported by Dane Tudor and shot by me at New Zealand.
A couple of photographers still now have no educated guess how the picture was made, some quite cool theories came up ^^ I'll solve the mystery in my next blog post with an photo shot from a different angle with the same technique...
stay tuned
