"Self Portrait 2005" is the first composite which is (almost) completely consructed of bits and pieces of my own photographs. There are eight elements in this piece. The background is a photo taken at the top of Signal Hill in January. The castle is the photo I didn't take. It was captured from the web. The El Monte Theater, me, my car,the peacocks, and the birds, which is only one cloned to make a formation are from my photos. The Michelin Man comes from my Advertising folder from the Cultural Blender.
