awesome. I think it would have more impact with out the distortion on everybody's heads though. Then it would look like a normal shot until you realized all that was going on inside it.

Of course you are right. The unadulterated photo of my great great uncle at work has the most impact. I guess I was trying to push it away from the reality a bit -- but maybe it isn't terribly successful.

you mean that's not what thier heads really looked like?:confused:
i wasn't going to say anything but now that's kind of a relief.:laughing:
seriously though i have to agree with the above comment. leaving the realism in it would have made it creepier. does have a cool, strange kind of "twilight zone" type of feel to it this way though. doesn't it feel kind of strange manipulating pictures of your ancestors?

I suppose it feels a bit blasphemous. Even tho my father is a life-long lover of all things surreal, I sorta hope he doesn't look at these.

One of my great grandfather's brothers -- and they aren't charred, just poorly preserved. And no, my grandmother wasn't actually in on it.

i figured it would feel a bit wierd. and hey, if your dad likes surreal art work i would think he would appriceate these. and he must know artists (especially the "abstract thinking" ones) are a bit strange... or at least that's what i've been told. :confused:
