Hi Walker,
I remember back in the '50's photo magazines with articles explaining how to
marry the two images together. However, I never stood still long enough in
the dark room to give it a try as people were what photography was all
about. :-).

But I know from camera club activities way back then it was a hot item to
put clouds into other pictures for the monthly photo competition. :-)  And
boy some those "really old guys" were very very good and did it without
PhotoShop! ;-) Of course one didn't relate to becoming one of those "really
old guys some day!" ;-)

So tell us, are you taking your camera tomorrow? ;-)
