The "Droste Effect" is named after the Dutch Droste company’s famous cocoa packaging in which the nurse on the package carries a plate with a package, on which there is the same package, etc, etc... In a same way following picture is done.
Click on the images below to see the animations of the Droste Effect:
Way back in 1969, Pink Floyd released an album called Ummagumma. The album cover shows the band positioned near a mirror, with the band reflected in the mirror.
First you see David Gilmore sitting on a chair, Roger Waters behind him; Nick Mason is standing behind Roger, and Rick is doing a head-stand thingy.
It's reflected a few times, yet each reflection shows the band in a slightly different order. I always thought it was a cool album cover.
Hola amigos Hi Friends: The name of the man who is in the droste effect photo is Andrew Lipson. He is an important and famous autor. He works very well with Lego pieces and other very interesting works. In his website: andrewlipson He have this link: How did I make this picture?

if you happen to have a mac with iChat AV and a removable webcam (iSight camera preferably), as I do, you can do a very similar and cool trick. Click on the video prevew icon to bring up a camera picture. Make the video window as big as you can. Hold the camera in front of the screen. You will see a million identical screens go on and on! it's awesome!

Look closer at the Ummagumma cover, the band members switch position in each pic. I had to pull out the original album after being reminded of it!

Get a video camera/camera that can video with and plug it in the AV slot. Change your TV AV and point the camera at the tv. Then watch it. It is like a Tv inside a Tv inside a Tv!
Classic example is an actor on TV producing a film, which the film is about making a film etc etc.

IN the picture of the band, I think that it is fake.
Because the guy on the stool has long hair but in the mirrors has short hair. He is also wearing no shoes but in the mirrors he IS wearing shoes. And the guy sat down behind him isnt wearing a pink top. Yes in the mirrors he is.
