Painting on photographs

Mattepainters usually paint on photos to make reality a bit more spectacular. Here is a good example of that: LOTR Matte. Roll the mouse over to see the original photograph. This was painted by Dylan Cole for the LOTR.

My favorite photographer painted on his photos. His name is Jan Saudek. Here's some pics from him:
Zuzanka's Night Window
Hey, Joe!
120 km/h

He also did just photographs, and pure paintings, but the ones I like the most is when he mixed the two arts.

I guess that's where I am heading, since I am a photographer learning painting, and it makes sense for me, mixing these two. Making reality a bit more exciting, isn't that what we all seek?
