My Psychedelic Photoshop Phase

Early this morning I was working on my PC and trying to clean up some old photo directories. One of the things I found was an old image of me sitting on the railing of a cabin at Camp Scouthaven during a winter camping trip with Troop 19. I think I'm at about age 15, so that would be 1983. Here's the original:[image: Alan with a Dr. Who scarf on railing at Camp Scouthaven in winter, circa 1983]

Now the reason I'm showing you this photo is that in the same directory, I think the result of frustration from not being able to salvage the original or successfully resurrect it in Photoshop, I found an alternate version. I would dub this an early dabbling into my psychedelic Photoshop phase, circa February, 2003, just prior to my going out on disability:

Note on the original: As I recall, my friend and former Scoutmaster, Alex, took the original photo as a favor. He was using my 35mm SLR which didn't have a flash, so he did the best he could. He tried to get me to move so the sunlight would be on me rather than coming from behind me, but I was 15 and thought I knew better.
