The two above image are in a series of called "Hand Pix", just as they are titled all of the image include something to do with hands, i do like the playfulness of some of the images. In particaullary the first image the oversized hand pointing at the male who is using his hand to pick at his nose... pretty disgusiting but i find it ironic and quite amusing.
The two images above are from a series called Phototoons, these are snaps he took of real time that looks as if it has just come out of a cartoon.
