Two sides to every story

This is one of the more complex images I've ever created.

It began with two different photographs of the same woman, taken on the Boston Tee many years ago. (As I recall she was part of a group of nurses or nursing students who were going into Boston for the marathon.)

Anyway, I was struck by how the two photographs showed very different sides to the same person -- not a novel revelation to be sure but I thought it curious nonetheless.

So I brought these two images into Photoshop, and then added several stock images of textures and objects. Many layers later and after numerous manipulations I ended up with what you see here. One of my most favorite images as well.
