(from the 1971 album Meddle)

Nick Mason's much distorted lyric to this is of course "One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces" but I don't trust myself with knives after the unfortunate broccoli-chopping episode in October (ahem!) so I've had to rely on the comparative safety of a claw hammer and a four-inch masonry nail!

Two shots here - one of me sitting reading, one of me standing behind me looking downright scary; both illuminated with off-camera flash. The two pics were opened into CS3, with the scary one added as a layer to the sedentary one. A bit of fettling with the Eraser tool, a smidge of the Move tool to align the shots; then I flattened the two layers. I B&Wed the image, adding a strong custom Curve to really bring out the contrasts, then another with a lithograph treatment. Next up, a bit of Diffuse Glow; lastly the merest hint of Shape Blur (but not over the book title!) for that 'film noir' look. Lastly, saved and resized for Pbase :o)

Rest assured I didn't hurt myself, but I did lose my place in the book...
