It's a photo of my friend Steven (see jouranal, "the Merchant of Hogtown") in full Elizabethan fig.
I've painted out another person in the picture and given it a Dutch Old Masters dark background, then overlaid a crackled texture to look like a 17th. century oil painting.
Later I'll remove this to scraps, but for now I want it visible with the journal.

Jolly fellow that. I wish so very much that I could have gotten into something like a Renaissance group. It would probably be fun. However, I did get into it with a group doing farm work from the late 1900s where we got an authentic steam thresher together for a small field of wheat. What do you think a contemporary 2000's fair would be in the future Taral?
Who knows? But likely they'd get it wrong, with people dressed up as nazis and princesses and ninjas and USMC, but hardly anyone in a joggings suits, blue jeans, or a cheap frock. No-one would like the authentic taste of Coffee or Pizza, so it would be made to taste like Xpzprc and Froppi instead. They'd watch the Honeymooners and Third Rock From the Sun under the mistaken impression families watched them in the same decade, and not watch it a 2D format as it was in the 21st. century. It would be an interactive holodeck version made by the Ted Turner AI that owns all the media. One or two die-hard fans would insist on authenticity, and burn real gasoline in a replica Ferrari without understanding that 99.99 % of people in the 22st. centurh didn't drive half million dollar cars at 180 mph.
In other words, it would be pretty much the same way we muck up the middle ages or any other era we role play. Frankly, we probably couldn't stand any of the people from very far in the past, and I doubt they could stand us.

Nick Gurewich has already taken that idea to its illogical conclusion:
