che guevara, a photo from Rigas, Central

Photographer's Note

- che guevara; another Bart from the past

Che Guevara and Bart Simpson - I like the comparison. One of my favorite quote comes from Homer Simpson; "what if you prayed to the wrong God all your life?"
. . . :)

The two are famous rebellions . . . Bart likes to be in persuit of unnecessary things . . . Che was fighting this.

We have lost our ideals . . .

PE2;
autolevels (let me know what you think of it!), crop, resize to 1250, sharpen, resize to 1050, sharpen, resize to 700, sharpen, added border and text.

About the post-processing;
. . . no unsharp mask this time . . . there was hardly any difference . . . sharpening worked much better. . . main diference; the photo became lighter . . . the original was a bit too dark and I used another post processing before, but I don't like changing reality too much . . . there is enough back slapping on TE for fake colors as it is.

I like the shot, which is very sharp and has good colours. I also like the idea of having Che Guevara walking on the street with a Bart Simpson T-shirt!!! It would be very interesting, even if they both represent opposite ideologies. Well done.

I like this dramatic image, David, the juxtaposition is funny and almost shocking. These two so iconic images placed together evokes so many feelings and ideas (I am from the generation that worshiped Che ) Even the dirty smudging of the image suggests something about false gods (aren抰 they all?) and fallen heroes.

Hi there, I do not know much about post-processing techniques, and I could not get what part of the picture is the actual stencil piece of art, and what is your work, but the result is good... and the theme very interesting. One could be ages discussing about it, anyway in my opinion they should not be put on a same level... Thanx for sharing. chau chau,

Maria

I assume you were not responsible for the original image here, the juxtaposed Che and Bart, but whomever created it showed wicked genius.

Your note was very informative -- exactly what I hope to see here! Some philosophy, and great technical details!

Give TE another try... :-)
