    my brain is telling me this is a drawing/painting. not a photo. as for the hats....it's not the hat that makes the man,it's the man that makes the hat work...or not. as for me Ive never been able to wear hats. I sometimes see friends that always wear hats and seeing them without a hat...hmm you look familiar, do I know you? one of our 6 kids is a hat wearer....cowboy hats.and he makes them work well.

    I found that one via Shorpy.com. They tend to touch up the photos they find, and it gives some of them that over-realistic look that can seem unusual for a 100-year-old photo. Here's a good example.

    I don't care how it is signed or who signs it as long as it clears the bank.
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    Certainly a integrated team, not sure about the guy inthe overcoat except possible he worked on the skidder and needed the protection.
