Bill Funk Photography

I was inspired by a picture I saw on line of an x-ray of a guy taking a picture, the idea being that I’d put my face on the left half and keep the x-ray skull, hands and camera on the right. So I wrote the photographer explaining what I wanted to do and asked him how much he wanted to use his image. Which I thought was pretty cool.
I got a curt reply saying that he didn’t feel my application was an appropriate use of his work.
OK, whatever.

So being me, I did a SP in the mirror… then searched on-line image banks for bits of x-ray anatomy, and put them all together to make this picture. It wasn’t easy cause especially the hands were not in the position I wanted so had to manipulate the fingers and other various bones and stuff to superimpose on the original SP. I was surprised I actually found an x-ray camera which came up pretty good after enhancing some of the technical bits, and I did some other adjustments to take into account what I was wearing…
