London will soon have the longest photograph in history on display just in time for the 2012 Olympics. It was created by the artist and designer Clare Newton who spent 21 months photographing more than 109.000 people jumping in the air and then seemlessly stitching their portraits to one 1000 m long image.

The photographs were taken across London in shopping malls, parks and other open spaces inviting people from all walks of life to take part.

It will be first exhibited at ExCel Exhibition and conference centre in London Docklands from 1-9 June.

Another great example for a simple idea but executed on such a scale and with so much passion that it becomes something incredibly powerful.

I will defnit check it out.

Clothes Make People is the direct translation of the German saying "Kleider machen Leute". And it's also the title of Herlinde Koebl's photography book. 

I really like her idea to show people what they look like without their uniforms on illustrating how clothes define the perception of humans.

It however reminds me of old photographs of American natives in their beautiful traditional clothes and then showing them in their Western suits after they have been "civilised". Something that always made me sad.

Just discovered this blog called Replace Face, where this guy post these hilarious Photoshop artworks. He says he uses potraits of Russian Generals of the English painter George Dawe and combines them with images of his friends, family and celebrities.

Not perfectly done - but pretty good. Most importantly it made me laugh.

And here a few more photos taken from my current busrides through London.

I saw these brilliant stickers by artist imbue the the other day near Brick Lane, East London. He altered the name of two aweful British papers The Sun and Hello! Magazine. l  I actually didnt know him until now. He is BRILLIANT! Check out his many other works on imbueUK.com
