<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 90083, member: 201&quot;]This is probably a stab in the dark but... any chance one or both of these men is someone of note? Any guesses on the photo&#039;s age based on the clothing?</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the photo is kind of interesting between the clothes worn by the man on the right, the lack of clarity of whether the two men were together, and the facial expression on the man on the left... is he sticking out his tongue? Moistening his lips? Or... ?</p><p><br /></p><p>The photo was probably taken in Manhattan. I forget if it was among my mother&#039;s things or my uncle&#039;s; they both lived in NYC.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the photo was my mom&#039;s and it&#039;s 1967 or earlier, then it most likely had belonged to my dad and it&#039;s possible they&#039;re just &quot;people on the street&quot; he photographed. Most of his photos he developed himself on matte paper, though, and the gloss finish of this photo would be unusual for him. He had a small ad agency, so it&#039;s also possible this was a photo meant to be used in an ad, although I don&#039;t remember his doing anything that would have used photos like this. In earlier times, I think he submitted photos to newspapers for possible publication, but that would be more like the &#039;40s and &#039;50s.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the photo was my uncle&#039;s, I have no idea why he had it. He was an animator who did work in the NYC TV and advertising world, and I&#039;m doubtful the photo had anything to do with his work or personal life, but who knows. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22927[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]22928[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
