A few posts ago I thought about how I'm in my eighties with some great ancestors. I had photos of my Dad on his 80th birthday, and my Grandpa when he was about 84.
I also said that I would like to get the three of us in one photo but I didn't know how to do that. My friend , Bill saw this and couldn't resist so sent me a photo of the three of us in one photo. It's done by melding. Then I found a photo of another guy...my great Grandfather.
So here is the first meld.
Then I thought , I wonder if Bill would put the four of us together.
So here we are! Great Grandpa is on the right at about 84. It is difficult to meld there are four different types of technology in making these photos.
So next I will do some short biographies .
I think that is impressive to be able to meld photos in that way. Bill did a great job.
ReplyDeleteLike everything...there's an app for it. I'm pretty slow when it comes to apps.
DeleteI just love the new technology that allows us to do so much with photos. Have fun writing the biographies.
ReplyDeleteMind boggling what you can do with photos these days.
DeleteWhen I see people next to each other like that I'm always amazed how alike many of our ancestors look and how like us they often look! I guess, obviously, in life we don't get to see different generations all at the same age.
ReplyDeleteI had some major jaw surgery so I've been altered to some extent.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteIt is neat how the photos an be melding together. It is a nice way to see the 4 generations together. Take care, have a happy new week!
I wanted some photos together but I never dreamed that this could be done.
DeleteWell done Bill! Together the four guys look like a boy band. Can Bill create the illusion of them singing together? Perhaps the Canadian national anthem:
ReplyDeleteGod keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
You and Bill would do well together. Great imaginations.
DeleteLove those photos, I can see some similarities between you all!
ReplyDeleteThe photos don't really do some of the characteristics justice.
DeleteWat a super idea - I look forward to the biographies.
ReplyDeleteI have this project in my head for a while.
DeleteThat's a fantastic idea and you all look good. It's a great way to create family photos.
ReplyDeleteThe different types of photography put some limitations on this.
DeleteIt's a good attempt at something that is difficult to pull off.
ReplyDeleteI didn't do it but I suspicion it takes a lot of work.
DeleteThat is great! A wonderful image of many generations.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It was fun to see it.
DeleteOh I like this. Hopefully you can print and frame.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought about that!
DeleteIsn't that cool! I think you look most like your Grandfather. I am surprised that your Great-Grandpa had so much dark hair - do you think he colored it?!
ReplyDeleteNo coloring in those days. His grandchildren always talked about him having no gray hair and he also had lost very little hair.
DeleteI was reading your post from a few days ago. I didn't realize your wife was a nurse. I took my training in Red Deer and my sister was a nurse in the seventies in Red Deer. Small world indeed. My sister worked on the ortho unit as did my son's grandma.
ReplyDeleteI love the old photos. I have a photo of my father with his three brothers from the 1920s. It is a treasured photo.
My wife worked very little in Red Deer. She was one of those stay at home Moms who never went back to work.
DeleteWow! That is such a wonderful melding of photos. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI'll tell Bill that his work was appreciated.
DeleteHi Red, This is cool. I don't recall seeing a melded photo before of folks, parents, grand folks, and great grand folks. It's a **great** idea. Bill must be a pretty clever guy. Nice work. And it's amazing to look at the resemblance in that last picture. Great post!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun. Bill is clever and a lot of fun.
DeletePretty impressive!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteWow, what a fantastic photo to have. Well done by your friend.
ReplyDeleteIt was a surprise for me as I had no idea this could be done.
DeleteWonderful to see you all together like that. A great job, and I look forward to the biographies. :-)
ReplyDeleteThey come from an interesting background.
DeleteVery clever, and interesting to compare faces at similar ages.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad the photograph y was so different.
DeleteThis is so great to see four generations together.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that this could be done but it's fun.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's cool.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing to see you all together!
ReplyDeleteInteresting concept! Always nice to have helpful friends. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to have a friend to help out, Red, and even nicer to see all 3 and then 4 faces in one image.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is amazing to have you all in the same photo. You can do this on Photoshop as well. He did an excellent job.
ReplyDeletei bet these images you got are best part of your treasure you have dear Red !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletethanks to Bill who managed this amazingly and we could see you all in one photo :)
