I was born on January 5, 1943 – On my first birthday – 1/5/1944 – I received a new wooden wagon!! On Thursday 1/5/2012 I will be 69 years old so I wanted to share this image I had created combining the old and new for my celebration of this event in my life. A span of 68 years of my life! I apologize for tooting my own horn on my birthday but for some reason number 69 seems special to me?
I recently started a project to scan all of my Mom’s old black and white photos. I found this image of me on my first birthday with what I assume was my birthday present. I don’t remember ever seeing this image before? I thought it was the perfect image to be joined with a new image of me for this occasion.
Note; I have scanned the original image, cleaned it up and enhanced the contrast and lighting with Photoshop then digitally enlarged the image. I also used Photoshop to join the two images. Your critical opinion is appreciated.
Oh – fabulous!! Thank you so much for the explanation of how you did this – it helps so much to see the time and skills that you have used. I love the interpolation of you as a young boy and you now, as a wise man. xx
Thank you very much Anna, I am not so sure about the wise part, maybe old would be a better word. { :>)

As a project this must have been interesting/ While i don’t do much of this work, I think you have made a good image, well worth keeping for future generations. WELL DONE
Thank you jell, I guess maybe some day a descendant will find it interesting. I hope to have my first grand child this year!!!
aww gee I am a goat too! gorgeous trolley and love the way you have done the blending? an clever you can walk! well me too at 10 months see clever goats! I scanned all the old photos, a while back, fun job.[putting them all back into the albums in the right places NOT]still loose]
I was walking at 8 months and running and climbing at 10, my mom said I was a terror to keep up with. Thanks
now i know when your birthday is…. and i have not even sent your Bamboo to you yet… oh nooooooooooo it’s going to be late…. happy birthday my dear friend…. you did a great job on the photo…. is anyone brave enough to spank you on your birthday? hahahaha barb
Well it is not a state secret but not a world class event either but for some reason () it is a significant one for me. As far as a spanking would you want to try that on a 6’ 1" – 260 pounder Most would not! { :>) Thanks to you I know what I am getting for my birthday, thanks.
Such an impressive image, Byron….love the young you incorporated with the now version (although the now version seems to be missing the beanie hat!). This image certainly tells a story…although, unfortunately, not the whole story. But what it does say is that a beautiful innocent little boy grew up to be a lovely and wonderful adult. I like this a lot!
