I knew an attorney who went to UF and had about 20 Uelsmann prints in his office. They were mostly the famous pictures you've seen, like the one below, but they were not quite the ones that you would see, like they were seconds. They were so cool to look at

When I was in eighth grade, about a century ago, we took a panoramic class picture. We had to stand very still, and the camera had a motor that turned it to capture the entire class on film. My teacher stood on the right side of the picture, and after the camera had moved past him, he ducked down and ran behind the group to stand up on the left side ahead of the camera. When the film was developed, he appeared like magic on both sides of the image. No 'shoopin' required.

My little Sister had one like that. It was an elementary school trip to DC and the photographer had a similar camera. The principal was given a heads up to start on one side and dash to the other side during the exposure. Pretty cool effect.

Can someone explain to me this tradition on aggregate sites like Fark of link to articles that DIRECTLY reference and base it's entire existence on another article that's on another site?

Seriously, it's not hard to save everyone the the trouble of linking to the originating site, so we don't have to find the link on the page that is posted.

Don't even get me on the sites that "quote" articles full scale so they can have imaginary conversation with it.

It should be a slideshow. I can tell by the images.

We were much better with an exacto knife. We spent our days (and night) in a darkroom. We shot viewfinder cameras. We new our way around our enlarger better than we knew ourselves. It was a better time where we treated film like gold and silver was better than gold.

I'm going to say multiple exposures, in camera masking and a shiatload of darkroom work with masking and multiple enlargers. At least that's how I did it, anyway.

When I was a kid I found a bizarre little home photo developing kit in the garbage. A light box, some sensitive photo paper and bags of chemicals, all still good to go. I discovered that by putting a photo on the light box with a piece of undeveloped paper on top, I could make copies. Of course it was the next step to try weird things like giving my Dad two heads, one on top of the other, etc. I wish I still had those photos.

That cracked me up a little. Making your Dad have two heads! Reminds me of Calvin's snowmen. Ha ha!

I used to splash/mist/water pistol developer on an exposed print, let the image come up only where the liquid hit and pop it in the fixer. Made for some cool effects.

It is annoying when it is certain websites but I believe it is to give credit to the site that exposed you to the content, who in turn give credit to the original and put their own spin on it that is appropriate for their audience. I don't mind it usually except when it frequently comes from certain sites or the site references a sister site from the same network.

Certainly epically cool shiat for a kid, I imagine.
