Great picture, Bob!

Where are the seat belts?

Anthony: actually there was just one lap belt for the both of us.

The photo has family significance because about 30 years ago my wife went out of town and asked me not to take our two sons, then about 8 and 11 years old, out in the ocean in our boat. Instead I rented an airplane and let our 11 year old sit up front in the co-pilots seat and fly the plane. That is his 11 year old son, my grandson, sitting next to me. On seeing the photo, his dad / our son's comment was "too bad he didn't get to fly the plane"

Marvellous story! Thanks for mentioning it. It adds to the meaning for us viewers too. Who said a photo is just a photo!

What a nice shot! Both look great and relaxed!
And her head so well surrounded and framed by those two verticals...
Double portraits are not easy at all! Congratulations on that one!
Cheers,
Juan

I have really enjoyed catching up with this thread, from the straightforward mirror views to the timered enviroshots to the elaborate stagings.

This was the first double exposure I shot with my then new XE1, my sister on her deathbed haloed by my hat:

Here, mugging a la Francis Bacon portrait of screaming pope for the GRDIV while wearing my optician's Leitz panopticon:

I don't really do selfies, but I saw where the sun was at and figured this was a good opportunity:
