The person I was photographed with was my friend Sam. The landscape I chose was the map of Link's Awakening DX. Link's Awakening DX is a game from the Zelda series. I chose the map because Sam is very much into video games and loves video game lore. I chose to erase everything because he was facing away from the camera and if I didn't it might have looked odd. I started with our black and white photo of me drawing a cat and Sam watching.
I then found my landscape which is the map that Vaalik sent me.
Finally, I erased Sam and placed the map behind the erased portion creating this.
