IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Many of the old 'family' photos that I'm editing....have ' writing ' on their obverse sides.......this photo had "Lewis McGee" hand-written on it's back.....otherwise, I wouldn't have had a clue as to who 'he' was... I've 'narrowed down' the Timeframe for this photo.....1931, perhaps....from clothing, especially that 8-panel 'baker boy/newsboy' Cap......and this one:   "Interestingly, in the 16th century, the British Parliament wanted to stimulate wool consumption, so they mandated that all non-noble men must wear a wool hat on Sundays and holidays, or face a fine.

Thoughts on 'The Unique's Coalescence With Uniform Content': Each of us, in intimate self-contemplation, thinks himself unique, singular, knowing and right; yet, we congregate like lemmings, who...not so unlike dragon lizards.....inflate this part or that or this thought o...
