History is the recording of experience along the human continuum across time. Here we see in both the physical and symbolic world how time co-exists with the human experience that comprises history.
This is my great grandfather, Solomon Milton Schatzkin in Egypt in the 1920s, I believe. He is the Teddy Roosevelt-ish fellow on the camel to the left. I have superimposed my parents sitting on the sand. This picture is from their honeymoon in 1994. To demonstrate how technology connects time and people, I have superimposed a satellite dish on the Great Pyramid as well as a stealth fighter. The pictures I have used are from dreamtimesfree.com and are copyright free images.
I am fortunate that I have all of my family pictures from the 40s onward digitized and I have great, great fun with Photoshop Elements. More to come for sure.
Nice work! I like how you have achieved a fairly uniform tone to keep unity in your image. Wow, your great grandfather really does look like Teddy Roosevelt. How wonderful that you have these old photos in your possession.
