Now this is fuck'n' weird...

This pic got posted 'long time ago in this thread, in the beginning sort of. But it ceased to exist (in the thread) a while ago (too). I like this pic a lot, it's one of the great pics of this universe (galaxy type thing). So I think about this big time for a like half a year without actually check'n' it out wih my eyes... Just... My inner self. So like two weeks ago I deicide: time to bring concrete usage of great pic to my liv'n'. Find it and look at it every day since tha'. So today, I check this thread out, and this is the pic I see. Fuck'n' creepy.

[fardin]

yes chicken its a nice pic, by the way thats the guy that was fotographed for LIFE magazine in the 40s and became the role model for the marlboro man.

but i also dig the lee jacket on the other cowboy at the camp fire

[Chicken]

^ those are early lees? i completely missed that the first time.

but man, if i knew the marlboro man wore type i jackets, i might still be smoking cigarettes. don't believe i've ever seen him wearing one:

yes chicken i think the guy at the camp fire is wearing an early lee jacket.

well the cowboy in the typ i is actually the inspiration of the marlborow man. its from a LIFE magazine shoot on a ranch and he was on the cover of the 1949 life magazine.

he didnt really work for marlboro though, LOL

[Chicken]

^ guess that's why i stopped smoking. marlboro man wasn't the real deal.

[Florian.FloC]

that last page was something

[selaviso]

such a great thread!

[fardin]

three pics i wanted to share,

not sure if they are already in here

[theswarm]

I think the reason most of these pics are so good is because they are capturing a moment in these peoples ordinary lives rather than some staged, contrived photo where the subjects are trying too hard. Great thread starting again Mr Paul T.
