The Final - Me then and me now

What do you remember about yourself from when you were a child?  Where did you go, what did you do?  Do you ever go back to the same places?  Picture yourself than and now and then together again in the same place.  Your final assignment is to do just that, realistically.

Look through your old photographs of when you were a child.  Take a good look at the composition and location, the lighting and the age of the image.  You are going to be placing the you of today with the you of that time and location.  This will involve Photoshop and definite digital manipulation, along with creative vision for lighting and structure of the image.  Give yourself a number of options as you will need to photograph yourself for placement in the final images. 

This will be a series of three.  You may use three different ages, three different locations - think of the final piece as a work to be viewed together.

Due May 14th.
