Harry Walters looks like Ernest Hemmingway in that shot. Love the lasst photo too. Such a great photo with the black umbrella and pure white dress. Gorgeous.
what i notice about great style, from the past and present, is that it's really about the earnestness and genuineness that is expressed in who they are without the pomposity of "effort!" i mean we all try at looking good or the way we want to portray ourselves, but from fur to mixed plaids and stripes it's all really about personalities and how they exemplify that via "fashion." trend is dead, and i don't really think style is something one can train or learn to do…because true style is original in it's purest form…well, that's what i think anyway…
Can't believe the quality of the photography in these last two… Keep looking at that fabulous casual skirt suit with the toggles. And the hats hats hats. Bring back the hat!
Harry Walter's portrait is beautiful. It makes you know how his hands look like – with a callus here and there, metal smelling, earthy. You can imagine his voice, the form of his calf, the jokes he laughs about, the stories he can tell about his trip now. I guess that is what makes photos become memories.
Hi Scott! Thank you so much for posting my photos! It was a pleasure seeing them with Harry Walters. Love his boots! It absolutely MADE my day (and all the women in my family!) -Chloe
I absolutely Love the photo, and entire outfit worn here by Chloe's great grandmother Alta Phillips. Great name, too by the way! ..Enviable dress sense and true class, the second photo I speak of. Boots, dress flowing yet crisp, her expression – such expression!.. Hat, earrings, and umbrella, if I lived then, she is the sort of woman I would marry (if I were a man) :)
Of all the wonderful pictures I have seen on over the past few years on this site – I was so amazed at your great grandmother's picture (namely the one in the white dress) that I set it as my computer background! She reminds me of Baroness Blixen in "Out of Africa". It was wonderful thank you for sharing it with us.

Priceless, and yes the very first thing I thought was Ernest Hemingway. What a grand style your grandparents had. Thank you, thank you!

she is a beautiful person in the pic. just remember sewing is as much of an art as painting or writing. it takes talent, time, and patience!

I love the Winchester 1895 in the first shot. An iconic firearm like that adds so much to it!
