Sometimes things are not what they seem, like my friend in the picture here, who really is a work of art.

Artists create these sculptures and sometimes photographers get to make pictures of them, a great symbiotic relationship if ever there was one.

Some pieces have a degree of realism to them whilst others are quite surreal and yet others just plain fun.
