Pic taken *exactly* 14 years ago (03-Sep-2006) in Tokyo, Japan of my two boys in their "Sunday Best"...
History-Redux
We went to Disneyland and we were happily surprised to see lots of folks all decked out in their Sunday best. It was Dapper Day! Twice a year guests come dressed in their finest attire (think "Mad Men").
One of my favorites was this young lady in a cute powder blue dress and white gloves — carrying a retro camera, of course! On our way back from Tom Sawyer Island, I asked if I could take a picture. Love!
Spotted this dapper dad & his boy at harbourfront last summer. In a horde of Sunday shorts, flip-flops, T-shirts & baseball caps, their refined yet casual elegance gave the impression they had stepped out of another time, Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby maybe.
I followed them for quite awhile...felt a bit like a stalker... but hey...got to get the shot, right? The quiet moment here captured the essence of their Sunday stroll.

Tip: When the groomsmen bust out the cigars... backlight the Shi* out of it.
I am that person. I buy ties for my cat. However, he doesn't seem to mind wearing them*, so it's sort of like he's encouraging me to do it. Right?
*He's been wearing the bow tie around the house for that past half hour and he so does not care.
Carte de visite by Wires of Milford. This freckle-faced lad, his long, curly locks combed, strikes a dapper pose in a tailored suit and matching hat.
Vermont-born photographer Ephraim Lewis Wires (1834-1905) operated a gallery in Milford, Mass. His obituary in the May 17, 1905, issue of The Boston Globe notes: “He came to Milford about 1857 and had resided here ever since. He was a prominent photographer here 40 years ago and was one of the first in this state to apply practical principles of art to photography. Later he became interested in the ‘clinching screw,’ an important patent for shoe manufacture. He remained many years as partner in Estabrook, Wires & Co., and later acquired that business. He retired with a fortune 20 years ago and since was interested in various corporations as an investor.”
