rocket science

Count the number of times you can see my cousin in the pink dress!

When I was a kid, my dad liked to take pictures with our film camera. I'm glad to be that old. The rest of the family would moan and groan as we would pause and hold a pose next to all the classic kodak moment landscapes. But the one time my brother and I would delight in his photographer exploits was when he figured out how to make "twins" of us in a photo. We'd get so excited to develop film from those sessions. We even convinced one of my friends that we actually did have secret twins somewhere. I have no idea how he did that with our film camera to this day. Now that I've been given access to the latest and greatest in technology today, one of my favorite kinds of pictures to take is creating as many duplicates of my friends as possible in one image.
