Pretty cool huh
 

Up to Vermont this weekend. Reading the local paper this great photo showed up. I see at least 2 Parker hammerguns. What see you?

Good Photo: Not just the guns. How about the hats and the Dogs.... Not to miss the "business like look" on the faces of the gunners.

even the cook got into the shooting looks like this is a great photo charlie

Great photo, Dave. Interesting array for dinner. Who's the fellow in the window on the left? His name's left out and it looks like he's holding a cat or protecting it?:rotf:

I love how nobody is ever photographed smiling in the old pics. I’ve heard a couple explanations for it but, it’s seems to be a cultural phenomenon. Sometimes I don’t smile for pictures and Julia makes me retake the shot. I asked her why she cared and she stated she didn’t want the grand kids thinking I was unhappy with her. I also like the hunting clothes they wore back then. One of the days I want to go on a vintage style hunt and wear a tie.

Decades ago my mother (the antiques dealer) explained it to me...
For the same reason portraits were/are rarely if ever painted depicting the subject smiling. It is easier to study a person’s face and possibly their personality when their faces are not contorted in a smile.
