It was a photograph of him wheeling himself around in a wheelbarrow, which was quite a feat for wet-process photography.  I tried this stunt but found that I didn’t have the patience to pull it off.  Actually, I may have had the patience, but I ran out of time because my darkroom was in the bathroom and I couldn’t tie up the bathroom too long.  Tom Tom Today, this is a pretty easy thing to do in Photoshop using the photo-merge function. Just mount your camera on a tripod, making sure it is perfectly level.  Take a photograph of one side and then the other, making sure there is some degree of overlap in the middle.  Use Photo-merge, one of the automated functions, to seamlessly merge the photographs together.  Here is what you get!
