...through the eyes of a child...
























Self portrait - sort of....
With the camera on a tripod I took a picture of my nine year old, and then uploaded the image to his Sony PSP.
Without moving the camera, I took another photo of me stood in exactly the same spot. It took many attempts to re-size his face on the PSP before it looked right, but the result looks quite spooky!

I removed the colour from the rest of the image to increase the old/young contrast. I left the reflection in the PSP screen primarily to stop the result looking sanitised and false
I thought about doing it the other way round, but haven't tried it yet.
