Once Upon a Time in 1964
My dad and friends performing in a play produced by a nearby girls’ school.
At the time of the picture, he and his friends were around 19 or 20.
Since I wanted to focus on him, I cut out most of the cast and blurred the rest of the nearby people, then enlarged his part of the picture and stuck it on top of the (already cropped) group picture.

@Kerry
I just used regular old photoshop.
This one took about 45 minutes, the duration of one of my dad’s phone calls. (He was talking to a friend on the phone while I was doing this.)
