Fedoras afield

[alanfgag]

:yo:

Mike, I had worn a hat but the winds off the lake were way too much - it would have gone sailing. I was glad I had a cap in the car.

A friend snapped a few photos while I was working - the computer on the lawn chair on the garbage can shows the true glamour of astro-photography. Also, a composite image showing the eclipse in three acts, performed over a few minutes before sunset.

Great pictures Alan!

 

[Tedquinton]

Beautiful photographs. It's nice to be reminded of the beauty that surrounds us. That bar the unusual we take so much for granted.

Well, it is definitely in the field...


Tending to a flint before a wilderness shooting event.


Teaching a young lady to throw tomahawk.

My favorite time period to play in while wearing the ancestor to the fedora.

Lovely shot, Greg. Where's Pop's hat?!

Also afield in an the urban wilds of Brockton, (one of) my all-time favorite business name(s)... I was wearing my blue steel VS snapping this one, while at a stop light.

Great photos Tedquinton and hats-R-me. Covering both ends of the classiness spectrum today!

Posting this a bit after the fact due to technical limitations recently resolved. This trip afield was with fellow Lounger Garrett to our local hatter Black Sheep Hat Works, AKA Bob Jessee and his lovely wife Alex. Alex was working so the boys were unfettered with manners.......

On arrival I spotted my 2 new refurbs


Garrett quickly donned one of his new refurbs, I think he looks satisfied


Me too


Time to get to work on the new projects and crack that bottle of Don Julio Anejo


Details, details




More to follow......

Excellent shots, Mike!

 

[Blackthorn]

Man, those pics show "fedora heaven"!

 

[mikespens]

Thanks Randall and Blackthorn

I had to wait my turn so stepped outside to try and capture the amazing colors of one of Garrett's latest projects, a heather colored long hair in blue, gray, green/gold, and plenty of dust/dirt too


Some more scenery, these belong to Bob and Alex





After the hard work and DJ we needed protein so enjoyed a nearly private lunch at Tony's, a nice Italian dive. The hatter Bob


Selfie under the influence


It was a fun day!
