"Beyond the Moon"

And now, I introduce you to another member of my family; my Grandad. Both he and my Grandma have been down to visit for my 18th, Christmas and New Year.Grandad is by far the most genuine person I know. You see what you get. If you don't like it, that's you're problem. He is also one of the funniest and one of the most caring.
This is a candid photograph I took in a cafe in Totnes, blended with a photograph of clouds and a picture of a street in London. I wanted this portrait to have a grungey feel to it, like the early work of one of my favourite photographers Annie Lebowitz.

I used digital manipulation in this image, it includes 3 photographs in total, the portrait, clouds and a street scene. The photographs are layered, softly erased and shown at varying level settings and opacities.

I also chose to use some grunge brushes from deviant art around the edges of the photograph, to give it a typhical Lebowitz finish.
