Amateur photographer Mike Stimpson recreates famous photographs from the last century using Lego figurines. Among his photographs were the shots Flag on Iwo Jima, Robert Capa's shot of a falling soldier in the Vietnam war, Chief Police shooting suspected Viet Cong leader and more.
Take a look at "Lego Tableaus Re-Create Classic Photos" by Jenna Wortham on Wired.
You can also view his photos on his Flickr page, at http://www.flickr.com/photos/balakov/
If you happen to like photography from the last century, here's a website that has archives of pictures taken since the 1900s. http://shorpy.com/
