I found this PDNPulse blog entry via 1001 Noisy Cameras. I’m tempted write a blog entry of my own and report it as it is, but someone may discover the truth and put this entry side-by-side with the entries of the two sites and ask, “Did Macro Photography Blog Steal Idea for Its Blog Entry?”
Basically, PDNPulse is asking whether Olympus steal a concept for its PEN E-P1 ad from a Japanese artist who goes by the screen name Dokugyunyu.
You watch and decide.
UPDATE: Olympus has posted a clarification of sort in the comment section of the YouTube video. It says: “Some of the comments we have read here suggest that we should mention the creator of ‘A wolf loves pork’, Mr Takeuchi Taijin. While we were looking for a way to realise a story describing ‘a journey through time’ based on printed images, we were inspired by Mr Taijin’s brilliant work. For this reason we intentionally quoted his work in our little movie while showing full respect to his original idea. We didnt mention his name because we did not want to do so without his prior agreement. However after considering some of the comments posted here we have decided to add credits to him and his work, which we obviously absolutely love.”
