The September 1999 issue of Publish magazine includes one of my Retro Metro images on page 18, as their featured "Art Show" image. The same image is also used on the table of contents page.
(See below for the text of the "Art Show" cutline.)
BLENDING THE OLD WITH THE NEW
Photographer Mike Bedford has long been interested in the history and architecture of the cities in which he has lived. For his Retro Metro project, Bedford merged archival images of Nashville, Tennessee, with modern-day photographs of the same scenes.
Bedford used Deneba's Canvas 6 to meld historical and contemporary photographs taken from the same position. With Canvas' Sprite Layer feature, Bedford placed an editable mask over the images and blended the photographs using various visual effects, such as the gradient seen here.
More information on the Retro Metro series is available on Bedford's Web site, http://commfaculty.fullerton.edu/mbedford/retroblend.html.
