Yes, and a cool conference brochure with my face superimposed on Van Allen.
@denis laframboise — Each of Asa’s photos were taken as multiple exposures in camera (i.e., no Photoshop used to create the composites). So, for example, to get the poster of me with Canon camera, he first took a photo of me looking up. Then I held my camera up (wearing black gloves) roughly where my face used to be, and he takes a second exposure which the camera superimposes (just like a double or triple exposure on the same piece of film). He was shooting the top-of-the-line Canon 1D X with a tilt-shift 90mm prime lens
As you think about that process, he needs to plan pure black areas for the subsequent shots… and it makes the Negroponte composite on top quite amazing.
The bottom photo is an exception to that. Knowing that all the posters were going to be multiple exposures, I thought it would be fun to try a single exposure, but with a double image. So I detached my 100mm prime lens and held it out in front of my face (wide open at f/2). He focused his camera on the face he saw looking through my lens. Does that make sense?
