There's a website called dearphotograph.com "take a picture of a picture, from the past, in the present" -- which seemed like kind of a cool idea, so I tried it out at the Fermilab 25th anniversary party last night (at which a good time was had by all, BTW; great turnout, lots of old friends in attendance). I need to work on the technique, learn how to line things up better and focus better, but here are a few of the not-so-horrible attempts:
Then, because I wasn't happy with the way they looked when I got them uploaded to the computer, I tried monkeying with them after-the-fact, and/or trying to match the vantage point of old and new photos and putting them together without my chubby arm in the frame. But somehow, that doesn't quite have the same effect, although there was something nice about being able to blend in people who are unfortunately no longer with us, as if there in spirit, and blending in the little kids who are now grown, moved away, and in some cases have kids of their own...
