A pic for my 365 Days self-portrait project from last year. Pretty cool that we managed to cut my head off and get into position, all within the 10-second timer, huh? Anyway... joking aside, what most people don't know is that in Kilmarnock, where we live, Halloween isn't traditionally celebrated on 31st October, but instead the kids go round and 'trick or treat' on the last Friday in October - which is tonight! It kinda makes sense, means the kids never go round on a school night. But it's weird all the same as this tradition is found only in this one town, not even in the neighbouring towns. Off now to take Beth to the psychologist after the trauma of beheading her dad...

This photo has been digitally retouched.

Used 2 pics as layers - one with me lying on the floor, raised up so my daughter could hold my hair, the other with her in position minus me. I then used clone tool to remove my body. Add a wee bit of blood-clour to the stump and cloned the white of the eyes. Also whitened my daughter's eyes (prolly too much, I was just new to Photoshop at the time) t ogive that demon-child effect.
