This is *unreal.* I did a whois, but the registration was private. Site is hosted on dreamhost, though. Also, please note that the email address on the page isn't a direct link, which is an effort to keep spam away. Unreal.
Another image along the same lines as the previous one, this time from an exhibition at the Met.
Part of the Foto exhibition currently up at the Guggenheim. I was a little overwhelmed and disappointed by the Richard Prince retrospective, but I'm tempted to say that this photo might have been worth the price of admission. update: someone ganked it for their flickr - there's a

I'm going to limit my commentary on this to the fact that treaded legs seem a good idea and not talk about the fact that this looks like it got rejected from a Radiohead video for being too weird. Not the best way to avoid the uncanny valley, people!
