After Aaron’s very successful faces, he and I decided I needed to use a better picture of myself facing the camera. Despite the many pictures of me that exist, there weren’t any with me facing the camera and looking at it… I’m hardly surprised since I have considerable camera anxiety. Anyway, Aaron merged two pictures and reran the web tool and came up with this much better set:

Row 1: Baby, Child, Teen
Row 2: Now, Older, Afro-Caribbean
Row 3: Asian, Indian, Masculine
Row 4: Modigliani, Botticelli, Mucha
Row 5: Manga, Ape, Drunk
You know what’s weird? That second picture looks a lot like my cousin Kate when she was younger.
Top Row: Baby Me, Me, Old Lady Me
Middle Row: African Me, East Asian Me, Indian Me
Bottom Row: Man Me, Half-Chimp Me, If Mucha Painted Me

Oddly, the Me that completely freaks me out is the Man Me. I can imagine me young, old, of a difference race, but a boy?! I just can’t imagine it. Not in a million years. As far as the morphing goes, I think the East Asian and the Male Me’s are the best, and perhaps that’s why they have a stronger effect on me.
I kind of wish I hadn’t picked the picture with the sunglasses on my head. Sort of ruins the effect. Still, what a fascinating exercise.
