A humble update: Upon seeing some absurd news, and reflecting on this story below, we just couldn't resist. —Eds.

That is not the famous Dorothea Lange photo. Nor are any of these photos the iconic pictures you know. Instead, they are recreations starring the one-and-only John Malkovich. In a new exhibit (opening November 7th at the Catherine Edelman Gallery) entitled, "Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to photographic masters", photographer Sandro Miller painstakingly recreated some of photography's most well-known pictures using the chameleon-like actor as his subject. The results are nothing short of perfect and are a unique and clever tribute to the process of thoughtful image-making.
