Artist's Description
This tiny fellow at only 61cm tall, perched high in a corner of the old town area of Brussels, Belgium, causes quite a stir. Visitors from all around the world come to see this famous Belgian landmark fountain. The Manneken Pis (meaning 'Little Man Pee') was created in 1619 by Brussels sculptor Hieronimus Duquesnoy the Elder but has unfortunately been stolen and replaced many times, the current version has been there since 1965 and the original is safely kept in the Maison du Roi in the Grand Place. The statue has several hundred costumes and is dressed differently several times a week, he has been seen portraying such characters as Dracula, Mozart and Santa Claus. The day I visited he was wearing his Birthday Suit! I blended a little texture with my original photograph to compliment the vintage feel of this old world Brussels scene.
About Carol Japp
I'm a travel photographer and photo artist. I like to explore every nook and cranny of anywhere I visit and I'm always looking out for something unusual or unique, weird and wonderful, interesting and intriguing. For me, half the challenge is in the initial taking of the photo, the looking for something that catches my attention, getting that perfect composition, but the other half is in the processing, the tweaking and twisting and the addition of a little imagination to see how much detail I can bring to the surface and hopefully let the viewer see the same as I did when I took the shot. My images have been shot here, there and everywhere, mainly in the historic cities of Europe and with the occasional one taken in my own surroundings...
