Self Portrait with My Grandmother. A rather beautiful way of meeting the ancestors at Modern Ruins

reminds me a lot of the Archeological Collage thread a few months back.

he should have made his pic black and white too, but I guess the effect he intended was the one he got...

Very nice, gravelshoes, and thanks also for the Archeological Collage link, which I'd overlooked.

Thanks! I like them a lot. I read a lot of J.G. Ballard, especially when I was in school, and these are like photos of his post-apocalyptic landscapes.I$

So wonderful, gravelshoes, thank you! I agree with pedantic, this is absolutely what I love about Metafilter. This and the constant relentless Iraq banter. No, wait. Just this.

Or else colored in his grandmother. But a nice idea in any case. Thanks very much for that link, gravelshoes. I enjoyed the Quick Time VR panoramas. (Especially the B-52s.)
