Beautiful, BR... I've always wanted to see this event. Thanks for posting these.

Looking good, Mike and Jeff... Ordinary Guy, that's a great fall portrait and a sharp hat.

The sun is supposed to make a return appearance later today... I decided to walk on the wide side.

Wonderful photos, BR. Yet another of the iconic festivals we have wanted to attend for ages. Did you go aloft with your VS?

 

[Rodkins]

Great shots, BR!

That you all for your nice comments. It's times like these that I wish I knew more about photography. The balloon fiesta deserves the best.

Looks splendid, Alan, not to mention you've done your dermatologist and ophthalmologist proud!

Thank you!

AL, if I'd just had this hat in kindergarten my skin might still have a chance. 8^)

It's a great hat ...

Looking great there, Josh. Nice suit!

Josh - the suit and hat go really well together. Great look for the wedding and I like the sepia photos as well.

Fantastic as always Josh!

Thanks, guys!!!

FANTASTIC photos, Alan!! I love this one the best.

Thank you for sharing your comments!



Right on, but these are homage portraits... a series that my dad has been painting in recent years. You might enjoy these self portraits that mix his likeness over the years with painters both classical and 20th C. My Dad has painted actively from the 1940's (he attended Cooper Union at night before the war) through recent years, with a couple of hiatuses.

Those paintings are incredible!!! Your father is an incredibly talented painter. You must be so extremely proud. I know I would be. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

Thanks Josh. He has done some excellent work. Someday I will share some of the earlier pieces which are quite different. I have a few of his paintings at my house, including this portrait of me in my better hair days.

Thanks Josh, Jeff, Zetwal... this is one of those hats that makes you smile as wide as the brim. I'm very happy to have the opportunity to wear it.
