Vintage Pics in your vintage threads!

Oh yeah! LOL LOL LOL

That stupid chair, man I wish I had an old one for that shot. Oh well. LOL

Root.

PS. JP, how are you? Haven't heard from you in a wile.

 

[Lauren]

here's my attempt at photoshop doctoring:

got any tips or hints for making it look more authentic?

 

[Andykev]

ZOOM IN you have the rest to make it great!

Yes to make it more authentic..zoom in so I can see your beautiful face. It is a nice shot, but it is like you are in section 135 at the ball game, and I'm up in section 245!

:cry:

 

[Kentucky Blues]

Yes, Andykev spoke the truth...also, I think a tad bit of blurring would make it look a bit more authentic

 

[Lauren]

hmmm... I suppose I will have to have someone snap another shot of me and try again. That one is nearly six years old and too pixelated when I zoom up farther. I'll post when I have my next photo Thanks for the hint!

 

[Wild Root]

JP, that photo looks like it was taken in the 50's!

Lauren, that is a cool photo of you on the Queen! To me, it's like a samp shot from the era! Sort of like you wanted a photo of the ship you're sailing on then a photo of you.

Ah, but it was. LOL
Actually the neighborhood was built in the 1940s so it kind of gave it the correct look for the era. That and I was standing next to my 1957 GMC. LOL

yeah, that's kind of what I was aiming for. I do need to get better photos of me in vintage (or vintage repros) but I plan to remedy that at the summit

You know, that shot was from the year they had the vintage expo on the queen mary... I remember now seeing you wandering around at the expos from time to time, most notably in 20's, I believe.

 

[Wild Root]

YEAH! That expo was swell! I wish they would have another one on the RMS Queen! That was a good show! Yes, I have been to most of the vintage expos and I have done the 20's look from time to time. My self, I love the early to late 30's and eraly 40's.

Any way, I hope to be at the Queen for the indy thing. Maybe Saturday night or something like that.

Take care,

Root.

hmmm... the one day I won't be there, unfortunately. But I believe Daniel and I will be coming to see you sometime

Say hello to the ghosts for me.

I'm just hoping they don't say hello to me!

Just don't go below deck after 10pm and they tend to leave you alone. If you stay there though, cover your feet good with the blankets. I understand they have a foot fetish. LOL LOL

Not quite vintage, but i felt left out from the picture posting, and I don't have any pics in my vintage threads yet...
Thats my boy and I before heading out to a New Years swing dance at Glen Echo's Spanish Ballroom.

 

[Wild Root]

Well, here are some photos of yours truly. I'm in one of my favorite suits. It's a true 1940's double breasted blue gray wool herringbone suit. The union tag in side has a copy write of 1939. So, it could be any year from 1939 to 1948. The hat is a late 30's or early 40's Mallory 20. I'm resting my arm on the driver side spot lamp of my 46 Plymouth.

Enjoy.

Looking good, Wild Root.
Nice combination of suit and car.
Heck, the suit is nice combination on its own.

Yours truly,
The Wolf

P.S. Great hat, by the way.

 

[Wild Root]

Thanks! That hat's one of my faves! Glad you like. I love Mallory's of the 30's and early 40's.

The tie is an original tie that I found at a vintage expo and it was never worn! It was a New Old Stock item when I got it. The pocket hanky I got after I bought the tie. So, it goes together very well I think. That's one of my favorite outfits!

Yeah, I try and dress up when I drive my Plymouth. She's my pride and joy!
