I found it interesting how they got the shot and how many tries it took to get it.

one of my all time favorites! It almost seems impossible that this is from 1948 since the technology to create this from a post-processing standpoint wasn't possible. It makes this piece so much more interesting and wonderful!

I want to say that great photographers were much more inventive at that time than they are now, but I doubt the statement at the same time. What would Halsman have done to his images with Photoshop?

I want to believe that Dali would create a mark of the dimension he did, but how would modern tools have affected that impact?

very interstingggggg

one of my all time favorites

Mine too! I love this! Thanks for posting, and I agree, it is interesting to see how many tries before they felt it was the right shot.

Sorry, but it is not a story I want to hear. Throwing cats 26 times over a 5 hour period is degenerate!
Humans do not have a right to misuse living creatures for 'Art' so called!
Not as bad as the 'creative' Hollywood westerns invisible trip wires used on galloping horses, but very bad none the less.

I agree 100% with yanceducat. Mistreating animals and documenting that on camera, no matter how refined a "technique" used, does not make it "art", it just makes it a documentation of a disturbed mind, that could come up with a such a plan. Thanks for the tip on who's "art" to avoid.
