We must be old souls that every century or so our paths cross. Dreams may be an alternate reality on a different time line.

 Me too.. Shredder what do you use for your cool photo edits?

 layers on photo shop...

 Choose two images. Copy and paste as a new layer. Then use the light dark blend modes (in layers)to achieve desired effect. A bit of cloning and the push tool was used. Color management tools were used to give the picture the desired saturation and contrast.
Read some books on digital manipulation. Any program will do. They are all the same.
Yes there are thousand dollar pro editing programs. For those I suggest a full time course at school to justify and understand what you are using.

 Nice.. on a Mac so never really had a good play with Photoshop.. Would be keen to have a go. Thanks for the info Shredder and Baggy

 there are some great tutorials on youtube

 I found a book in a used book store for five bucks.
