September 15, 2009 was my dad's 90th birthday. I know, awesome! And he really is an amazing man--handsome and smart. We had a party that was pretty fabulous and I got some fairly good shots. It happened that right around that time I figured out how to create a type of triple "exposure" by layering photos and messing with the opacity. This one features my dad and his birthday cake, my nephew James taking photos (so meta!) and, less obviously, some Norwegian candy emblazoned (naturally)with Norwegian script that James brought back from a trip to Scandinavia. It's really wonderful for me to show these triple layer photos to people and to observe how intently the picture is studied. It can be work to find all three elements but people are invariably excited to do it.
