Challenging Truth and Reality

I chose this photograph for the 'Challenging Truth and Reality' assignment because of the unique perception in the photo. I chose this after finding out about the artist, Erik Johansson, a few years ago and falling in love with his photography that challenges perception. The artist seems to be painting the landscape before him, but it's as if, in doing that, he becomes his own painting - just as almost all artists seem to, in a sense, morph into their own work.What I find interesting is that the photographer didn't photoshop the painting, but actually painted it himself. That, in itself, is almost challenging truth and reality because most people might believe this is a heavily photoshopped image.
