You are such a laid back guy, I would have thought you would be able to get along with your new clone. But, it seems the complexities of the clone/clonee relationship are just too problematic even for those with agreeable personalities. I guess this is why home brew cloning kits haven't taken off in the mainstream and are still relegated to questionable adverts in the back of "Biology Today."

I did a composite series of one of my Capoeira buddies (who was a photo major) fighting with himself. For the "real" him, I had him kicking a free-standing heavy bag (like the kickboxing things) so it looked like he was practicing. We'd take the shot, then move the bag out of the way, and took a 2nd exposure of him evading/attacking his "real" self. The result was that he looked "ghostly" in the second shot, on top of the bag. It was really cool, because I wanted the shots to look like he was practicing, and imagining his opponent doing things he was reacting to/provoking. Really cool shot :) Danny, sometimes I think you read my mind. I did a composite series of one of my Capoeira buddies (who was a photo major) fighting with himself.
