http://www.jameshymangallery.com/pages/biography/14213/laura_letinsky.htmlLaura Letinsky's elegiac photographs of detritus on a table-top are both elegantly prosaic and art historically resonant in their reference to Dutch vanitas still life painting of the Seventeenth Century.
This dialogue with painting is an important aspect Letinsky's photographs. As the artist has explained:
"It's so important for me that the photographs hover between being painterly - in the sense of light, colour, composition and plasticity - and being insistently photographic. They're photographs on photographic paper; they're made with the camera, they aren't digital effects. I'm really interested in the plasticity of photography and the way one reads it - like 'How can that be possible? That must be digital!' But no, it's not digital. Photography is like painting; it's an incredibly plastic medium."

The results create original and stunning images that reinvent the Panchatantra (an ancient Indian collection of animal fables) for the 21st century and further blur the boundaries between reality and illusion.

CS3 Illustrator versus Photoshop
Illustrator is usually used for "vector" graphics where you create shapes or text (usually of solid color or with gradients) that don't lose quality when you enlarge or shrink the image. It is best for making logos or graphics.
Photoshop can also create vector images, but not nearly as well as illustrator. Photoshop is usually used for editing "pixel" based images such as a photo or a scanned image, which illustrator cannot do. Unlike vector graphics, enlarging and shrinking a photo will reduce the quality of the photo.Photoshop is a graphics editor, market leader in professional image manipulation. Illustrator is a vector-based drawing program and InDesign is a desktop publishing application.

After seeing the video i like the idea of his work because you can have messages out their to have people realize that harsh things in this world. this is for adults and children too. in a painting or an illusion you can see one thing while another person sees something different.
