A couple of years ago before I had photoshop I had this other Adobe program, the name of which escapes me now. It didn't allow you to do much, as it was designed for people who didn't want to do much with their pics, I guess. Anyway, it had a pretty nice feature that let you color your b&w pics and give them a kind of old-fashioned look. Here are a couple of examples from that time frame, 2006 I believe.   Both pics shot with Canon AE-1 Program camera, film unknown but probably a C-41 B&W. |

James, thanks! I never thought of that. Whom should I market to: adolescent boys or middle-aged men?  |

Those 13-button-trousies were my own from the service. The hat is WWII-era, given to me by an historian buddy of mine. The muscles are the model's very own.  Do you really think that pin-ups could be sold on ebay? I have lots of them that I've shot, and I've never given any thought to marketing them and selling them...they've just been for fun. You've given me food for thought. www.f6point3studio.com/page7.html <---see more here |

The hat is WWII-era, given to me by an historian buddy of mine. Not to belabor something OT, but I was issued one in 1956. Google tells me that they were phased out in 1963 due to "lack of materials." I can remember a few times in winter when they were "optional" for uniform of the day. The only part of my uniform I still have is a dress blue jumper (which must have shrunk a lot, since I can barely get my arm into the torso part of it :mad:). |

Here's a look at my old dress blue jumper:  I find that even if I could pull mine down over my head, it would still fit me like a sausage casing.  I guess mine "shrunk", too, James. |
