Meticulous recreation of a photo, skin pores and all, using an airbrush

Yeah, this guy is insane. And an air brush artist beyond belief.
His image is incredible.
But he lost some points in my book with his definition of *art* when he hit on photographers........

The reason photography does not qualify
as art is that the process removes the filter of the human mind as an interpretative element. Although photography requires technical skill, in the final analysis it is only a mechanical recording of reality.

I don't buy this at all. While it might be true of an untalented photographer, there are a lot of examples that I think contradict this description of photography.
