Remixing vintage images

This blog stumbles around with experiments in content creation like we are seeing emerging within social networks. Certainly the sharing of digital photos (many with storytelling captions) via Flickr and other online services is exploding. But I'm surprised I haven't seen more remixing of the hilarious vintage album covers all over the Web. This summer, at a 35th high school reunion in a small Iowa farm town, I shot classmates on Friday night and then Photoshopped them into old album covers for a slide show Saturday. The response? About half got the joke. With apologies to a couple of classmates, these are from the show.
