I begin with two views of pageant contestant Brandy Barefoot. She is back this year in the Miss Idealia pageant in Stone Mountain, GA, and to promote her entry in the contest, the family has put out both an official program and a full-scale poster measuring 16 by 20 feet. The respective photographs are below. For this photo montage, I put ex-Miss Benson Amanda Barefoot's face on top of an unidentified model, and used the brush tool and reduced opacity to match the hair color around the nape of the model's neck to match Amanda's blonde hair.
The next photo is of a fall-time tradition in many places across the United States. Corn mazes can be found on many farms as a way for them to get extra revenue and attract tourists. Here I depict the three children of Popeye and Annie - Ralph, Harvey, and Hambone - preparing to take on the maze at the home of the Raynors, who are the parents of Brenda. The shirt and hat designs are alternate symbols for the family, as suggested by Annie.
The last photo has nothing to do with my second-favorite family, but it's a great moment in my real one. On Wednesday, my brother Tommy Hobson and his wife, the former Lisa Colon, gave birth to Havana Faye at Memorial Medical Center in Long Beach, CA. She weighed seven pounds, eleven ounces and measured 21 inches in length. Mother and daughter are doing fine, and Lisa is expected to be discharged from Memorial on Sunday. (I apologize for the poor quality; it came from a seven-year-old cell phone.)
