Griffey, From the Archives

With Griffey's first return to Seattle since the trade in 1999, I wanted to find a picture that I took very early in Griffey's Seattle career. I couldn't find the specific picture I was looking for, but I did find this picture that I believe would've been taken in either 1991 or 1992. I was crazy back then and into weird things, too. This shot is an in-camera double exposure, with Griffey up to the plate, and Griffey making a catch in the outfield:


I believe a few of the newer dSLRs will make double exposures, but my camera doesn't have this feature. It was sorta fun doing this in film, since you really didn't know how it would turn out, unless you were a seasoned pro. I was just a learning hack back then, so yeah. While I did bring out the exposure a little bit in Photoshop, I didn't merge the photos -- this is how I made the shot waaaay back then...
