fuminous Loc: Luling, LA... for now...
 
Been cleaning out stuff from my Dad's house and found this... taken over 50 years ago- with a Zeiss Icarex, I believe. Sam Pavatt was a very nice man, always ready to help in any way and he let me fish in his pond. He was a little too trusting and a thief swindled him and his wife out of what little money he had. My Mom told me this long after I'd left Arkansas. Makes me angry, still...

Nice portrait!! Such a shame he was taken advantage of; I hope they are rotting in hell for it.

I hope so, too, Dodie... and if I could make them a little more miserable, I'd do it.

That's a great find!!
Probably safe to say it's the true look of genuine character not artificially applied by a makeup artist.

Absolutely right, dustie, Sam carried that stick to poke and guide his handful of milk cows into the barn... and he always had that top shirt button buttoned...
