50 States of LEGO
Sometimes inspiration strikes when you’re out in the wild, climbing mountains
and taking in breathtaking vistas. Other times, it happens when you’re looking
after your 7-year-old daughter and playing LEGO. You can probably guess how
photographer Jeff Friesen’s 50 States of LEGO series came about.
Friesen hails from Halifax, Nova Scotia, so it’s only appropriate that he turn
the “poke fun of Canada” table on its head and stereotype the US of A for a
change (although he did tell The Phoblographer that the project started by
depicting the 10 Canadian provinces before moving on to the states).
Each of the dioramas in the series is made with the LEGO pieces he has on hand
and some construction paper. Whatever little Photoshop goes into the project is
usually there to remove strings used to hold certain pieces in the right spot
(the Kansas house, for example) or make minor color corrections.
Speaking with Wired, the professional photographer explains that this funny
little project is a great way for him to blow off some steam while keeping his
daughter entertained. “I’m quite serious in my other work — this project sorta
gives me an outlet,” he told the magazine. “And I always like to keep that time
with her productive.”
