Actually that's just me and my Magnavox in 2010 taking a period photo!

I was going to say a drink and a Cig would make it even more authentic.

It looks like you should be working at Sterling Cooper. :D

Couldn't fool me: in '63 your tie would have been 1" wide!

Sandy G 05-29-2010 05:54 PM

Sharkskin suit is about right tho. Yep, tie's too wide. And a lot of color photos from "Back Then" seemed to be biased WAY too red.

I just figured your "Dad" had not caught up with the narrow-tie fashion. Very cool, indeed.

Actually, color photos at the time were not so red, but except for Kodachrome slides, many faded badly and became pink over the years. :pity:

Hah thanks guys. I had a lot of fun creating this photo. Actually, the only things in this photo that arent from 1963 or before are my shoes, shirt and me! The tie is actually period. Though narrow ties were the fashion of the time, some people chose to wear standard width ties. The tie in the photo is 2 3/4 with at its widest.

I was debating the drink, cigarette and ash tray...maybe ill retake the photo...

If that was my Dad in the picture, there would be a pack of L&M's! That would be before "the big cancer scare". He quit cold turkey then.

Is that one of those chairs with that prickly 50's style loop material?

mattcarranza 05-30-2010 10:10 PM

Its not that loop material you're talking about, but it is picky as hell. Something about old fabrics are really nice looking...lots of texture.

Need a porkpie...Either on the head, or atop the TV. (grin)
