Monday, September 15, 2008 – Ersatz Warhol

Andy Warhol was born Andrew Warhola on August 6, 1928, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – and his parents were working-class immigrants of Rusyn ethnicity from Miková, in what used to be the Austro-Hungarian Empire and now in northeastern Slovakia.

You photographer here was born on June 27, 1947, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – and his parents were Czech on one side and Slovak on the other, also from what used to be the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Two can play at this game – or maybe growing up in Pittsburgh does something to you.

If you wish to use any of these photos for commercial purposes I assume you'll discuss that with me. And should you choose to download any of these images and use them invoking the "fair use" provisions of the Copyright Act of 1976, please provide credit, and, on the web, a link back this site.

Technical Note:

These photographs were taken with a Nikon D200 – the lenses used were AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm 1:35-4.5G ED, or AF Nikkor 70-300 mm telephoto. Photography here is modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0 software.
