It makes you gasp at first. Then later one would come to think: Why would anyone spend countless hours reproducing a photograph into vector?

Some professionals argued it could be useful for large format prints. But billboards are meant to be viewed from afar, making sharp vector details unnecessary.

Others say unless they are created from artistic imaginations, these repros are a total waste of time and effort. This leads to a debate on what could be art or just mere craft.

Others see them as a demonstration that push the boundaries of vector illustration. For those who don't know about vector, they are simply passed off as photographs.

I think the only thing that makes such endeavours worthwile is the perfection of extra details in the existing photograph they are copied from.

Probably I call it insane, and sometimes unnecessary(specially in billboards).
Maybe just having fun tracing those photos with their vector stuff.
