Here is the unedited version of the image I used to make the thumbnail for my latest musical submission, "Fred The Sadistic Ghost". I'm the one on the left, and on the right is my friend Rob, who did the music for one of my other submissions, "In The Dark". The reason we're made up to look like we're dead is that this pic was taken on the set of a cable access TV show we used to co-host. In this particular episode (which was our Halloween show, 1998), we pre-filmed a segment in which the show's four co-stars all died in different and interesting ways. For the remainder of the episode, we hosted as "ghosts", using a simple video technique to make us appear transparent. I was 'killed off' in a freak thrill ride accident while on vacation in Florida, hence the shirt I'm wearing here.

I have some pretty mad red-eye going in this pic, but given the look we were going for, I think it works! ^_^
