This photo always makes me laugh when I see it, but it also leads to me scratching my head most of the time? Whomever these men are and whatever they are trying to portray in this photo...it seems as if the photographer had poor timing in regards to one of them blinking!
I think it was intentional too. See the very large beer stein/pitcher/tankard? he's cradling in his arm? The stranger thing is why in heck the "cobbler" has that fabric over his head. Looks like it's actually part of the dark backdrop.
I think the "drunk" look may have been intentional for the photograph too. I'm also curious about the rolled cigarette in his mouth!
Fabulous image! Too bad for the damage to the print, but sometimes that is not too important with such an interesting image.
Really interesting, The damage can be edited out by a good photography shop or online if you're clever, I think it would be worth it.
I can photoshop it / fix it if you like. I can either use this image or you can send me a higher res image ...:
i couldn't help myself. i love retouching photos... hope its ok i left the bits around the outs side rough like the original photos cause i think its nicer...
NEAT! Neat! and nEaT!. Not a cobbler. Wouldn't be wearing a tie and a vest. Luv it. I also agree on it being staged. Nice job, Kactus.
