I used to do it a lot, particularly in the bargain bin. I bought this manu dibango record after walking past it 20 times. on the 21st time I realized it was him posed as africa with his shoe as madagascar. the record isn't really my thing but what a photo.

Holy Crap! This is great. Nuit de Chine is credited for art direction and design while Vincent Soyez is credited for photography. In my brief search in the internet I could not find definitive info regarding who is responsible for this. Man, it?s great!
