Hi Fardin, Thanks for posting. A couple of years ago there was an exhibition of Mike Disfarmer photographs at a small gallery here in NYC. Looking at the small prints was looking back in time to the late 30's and 40's. If only he printed his negatives a larger so you could check out the details of the overalls and leather work jackets his subjects were wearing!

[fardin]

hi grant, hope everything is fine

yes the pics are really nice. even the ones diplayed on the page are pretty small, but on can save em en them look at em bigger. some cool leather jackets there .
