FF, How long have you been playing? I started a coupe of years ago, but at my age the fingers don't move like the youngsters' do.

I have been playing the pipes since 1995 ,but really started to play at band level and not so much solo in the last three years , and your right the older you get the tuffer it gets [huh].

The bands link is www.rihighlanders.org we are a tight knit group ,and we have a great time together !

Off to See The Tailor.

This is what I refer to as my "doing the chores /running errands " clothes .
The fedora I got for like $20.00 buck and like to wear this one "low brim,lowbrow , gangster style" .

The Jacket is the real deal navy peacoat that my older brother who was on the gold crew in a submarine gave to me , and its warm as hell and the collar will meet just at the brim of the hat, its great.

All the Best ,Fashion Frank

40s European shirt, 40s English tank top,
30s tie and shopcoat (both French).


(there's a bit of ghost-reflection down the side of one shirt collar edge. don't be alarmed)

 

[CircuitRider]

Like my others, same hat and overcoat (1950s Penney's Marathon & Harris Tweed Overcoat, made for the Richman Brothers).

Found a grey plaid one similar to this last spring...can't wait until its cold enough to wear!

here you go Frank with your approval hopefully, I've removed it for you as well as the satellite dish and given it a 'vintage' touch;

Fashion Frank, love this look. May I call you MISTER Fashion Frank?

May I ask if you do modeling, Hkid? You have a very dramatic, striking appearance and your sense of posing and even lighting and camera work is very good. I could see you being very successful in that field if you aren't already in it.

May I ask if you do modeling, Hkid?

i'm very flattered but no; i'm honestly not photogenic. photogenic people (i've learnt) are ones who you can take dozens of photos of and there will almost never be a bad shot.
most of the time i look pale and worn out... it takes great patience and planning to get a decent shot of me (i'm not being modest, it's true).

Sounds familiar; I usually take six shots or so before I get one that's only even halfway acceptable. Or not. The pixelation of my camera doesn't help either and then of course there is the fact thai I always feel like a mouse staring at a snake in the presence of a camera...

All that said G&T is spot-on in his observation.

 

[JonnyO]

Everything is modern except the hat

I agree on the model qualities, HBK. No, not in a hollywood way. But rather Disfarmer or "Crooks like us"...even Brassai.

i just looked that book up and i see it's the same photos as 'City of Shadows' (which i'm familiar with but don't own)... are they the same book under a different title ?

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

I don't know. Don't think they are exactly the same pictures but same source for sure. Could be part one and two of a collection.

They are both getting too expensive now. I wish I had bought one of them for about 40 euros when they were new.

HBK - You have got the "period" look naturally - in black & white, your physique and face could fall right in with any number of 1920's-40's photos. I would also say a lot of folks looked a bit pale and worn - the city dwellers and office workers, anyhow.
