On Thursday, May 27th, 2010 Toronto’s Hope House Fundraiser aims to raise $50,000 for Hope House, a school in Calcutta being built by the Kids With Cameras Foundation, a charity born from the Academy Award Winning documentary ‘Born into Brothels’.

Each photo canvas featured at this special fundraiser represents a personal story of self-discovery and empowerment through the photographic works of the children (a skill taught to them by Co-Director and on screen presence Zana Briski)… Read More about the Hope House Fundraiser.

A contrast in realism! You see elements of Heine's caricature in this Pencil vs. Camera

Fitting? Yes…Creative? Absolutely!!… I just had share the artistic works of Ben Heine
a Belgian painter, illustrator, portraitist, caricaturist and photographer from Brussels.

This particular image is part of his “Pencil vs. Camera” series that combines photos with
pencil drawings by superimposing the sketch onto the photo.  Ben will take his own photos
and consider the image as a battle between the drawing and the photograph.

“The great thing is that the photo and drawing are 2 different ways of expression but they go
well together and they definitely have the same purpose: share an idea, an emotion, a
concept or a message
.” Ben Heine
