When I was visiting my parents earlier this month my Dad showed me this image that he created as a student
He merged two photos in the darkroom, much like I do on the computer now – a reminder that playing with photos is not new.
I used the same idea of silhouette and textural image for Kim’s Tuesday Texture prompt this week – dream. For me dreams are usually a confusing merging of random elements.
I merged a photo of a flower bed with a photo of my shadow leaning of the rails of a bridge.
Then I added two layers of Kim’s scratched magic texture on hard burn to give the crumpled paper look.
I’m sure the interpretations will be very varied this week – check them out here.

Cool! That photo your dad made is very sci-fi scarey... but fab! Your version is kind-of weird, but also fab!
I think it's time I left....
Your dad's looks as though it could be a scene from Star Wars! Love the scratched effect on yours!

I love the resulting composite of the two images. Colorful dream.
Great technique - you learned a lot from your father!
Wow. Fabulous technique. V

Very interesting effect.... hmmm, I'll have to try that! Great photos!
It's always so interesting to see interests being passed down the generations
Love the work your dad did. Does he still do photography? Maybe could introduce him to PSE!
Lovely - very creative!
Oh, this is so cool, Helena! Your photo with the flowers is stunning. And your dad's photo is really interesting and almost eery. I love both of them!
Very cool. I like the crumpled look.
How neat to see your dad's work. Love your take on this weeks prompt, nicely done.
Brilliant photos. both of them. I love this kind of strange other-worldly feeling ...
I originally called that photo 'pipe dream'
Your Dad's photo has a haunting quality. It is interesting how digital photography has changed the medium isn't it?
