They very well might have put it in photoshop to convert it to the right format and such...in other words:
HOAX HOAX HOAX!!!

It's not a hoax. This effect can be easily done as stated. Lucas Samaras has been doing this for years, with some pretty cool results.

I doubt this is a hoax. While it is an extremely clean alteration, I've taught this technique to high school photography students with similar success. Nicely done.

I thought it was funny, downingba.
Also, great pictures- I had not seen this technique before. I particularly enjoyed the http://levah13.photosight.ru link.

Or check out the Celebrity SX70 portraits done by Michael Dare in the '80s.
He did one of me when we met at a dull party in '85... can't imagine why my pic isn't in the on-line collection.

Awesome. Absolutely awesome. Humans didn't always need Photoshop to tweak their potos ;).
