This image began with a photo that I came across today while looking in my mom's old WWII album. This is my dad in London during WWII, on leave and doing a bit of touring around London. I would like to know more about his time in the military and two years ago, I ordered his military records. But the records are received are very skimpy because a lot of information was lost in a fire.) My daughter is trying to help me find out more, and today I pulled out the old album. This particular photo isn't much help with the research, but I liked it. I have other photos that show my Dad at St. Paul's with one of his friends, who perhaps took this photo. But is it possible this is a selfie? It makes me smile to think so. Tonight I scanned the photo into my computer and did some basic cleanup in iPhoto. Then I used Painter to add some selective color overlays. Then I posterized it and cropped the original to get this composition.
