Photographed the skeleton wearing the hat,, where it sits on a balcony over the entrance to a bar down the street from me. Overlaid it with a faded image of myself shot in a bathroom mirror, trying to get just the eyes/glasses, some of the nose, and a hint of the beard, without completely obscuring the skull.
