Young Me Old Me

Inspired by @Ivar's recent selfie, I thought I'd share a bit of silliness from 3-4 years back, combining a current selfie with a portrait taken by a mate of mine when I was about 18-19. Still not sure what possessed me to mess about in photoshop doing this. Ah well

Very clever Ralph! I like it!!

Thanks, Gary. This is the bastard child of photography (the image, not the man, though I have had names of a similar ilk thrown at me on the odd occasion lol). Half 'n' half, analogue and digital, not fully one or the other and wouldn't exist without both (oh, and a bit of PS tomfoolery on my part). Long live all kinds of image-making

Strange phenomenon: the hair has migrated from the north-west to the south-east of Ralph. Fun!

Haha! Yes, must some sort of strange gravitational phenomenon...

Strangely enough, it was my friend who took the original, that encouraged me to take up photography more seriously.

 

[Stevenson Gawen]

Wow, that's very well done... to start with I thought you'd got a new haircut

 

[Ralph Turner]

Cheers, Steve, much appreciated. I can count the years in decades since I last had enough hair to consider having a new style lol.

Very interesting I'd say.

Thanks Ivar.

Did you remove the image / link, Ralph?

 

[Ralph Turner]

Sorry, Pete, looks like I did. I've put it back in place now

 

[Pete Askew]

And I’m glad you did. What a great idea - it certainly made me smile.

Cheers, Pete
